Eucalypts are tree species belonging to three closely related genera, Angophora, Corymbia and Eucalyptus. Of these, Eucalyptus has the most species, the most-widely planted species and the biggest trees, so "eucalypt" refers most often to Eucalyptus. Species See text The genus Angophora includes about 10 species of tree native to eastern Australia, belonging to the Myrtle family (Myrtaceae). ... Species See text. ... Species About 700; see the List of Eucalyptus species Eucalyptus is a diverse genus of trees (and a few shrubs), the members of which dominate the tree flora of Australia. ...
It is intended to be of use to researchers working with eucalypts, especially those using material from CCA; and also for the many other people interested in CCA and eucalypts in general.
The main part of the book is the listing of collections at CCA, which includes details of species/subspecies/variety, provenance/collection information, voucher number, year planted, year first flowered, current health and CCA location of all vouchered collections of the genera Angophora, Corymbia and Eucalyptus at CCA.
Volume 2 includes details of 911 recognised terminal eucalypt taxa from 1428 different collections.
This article on the factors influencing the occurrence and treatment of eucalypt woodland in Australia deals with one of the important subjects to be considered at the eucalypt conference.
The position is being aggravated by the fact that some of the worst enemies of the eucalypts of the savanna are scarab beetles which feed on grass roots in the larval stage and on eucalypt foliage when mature.
Eucalypts from forests of very high quality may be of less interest overseas than the species from the savanna.
