Eucalyptus is a genus of 700 species of flowering trees.
The Eucalyptus tree is native to Australia but due to the variety of species, they can be found in many different places. For example, some grow in the desert and others grow in rainforests.
The name eucalyptus comes from the Greek word 'eu’, meaning ‘beautiful’ and 'kalyptos' meaning hat because the stamens and pistils together resemble a hat.
