Latin Name Eucalyptus globulus (Labill.) There are several species of eucalyptus used to produce essential oil. Some of the more common include: Eucalyptus australiana (R.T.Baker & H.G.Sm.), Eucalyptus leucoxylon (F. Muell.), Eucalyptus polybractea (R. T. Baker), and Eucalyptus sideroxylon (A. Cunn. ex Woolls). Eucalyptus citriodora (Hook.) and Eucalyptus smithii (R.T. Baker) are two additional species, which we will study in separate monographs. In this monograph, we focus on E. globulus.
