ABSTRACT
There are at present approaching 1000 or so fully described species of Eucalyptus and this number continues to grow. Included amongst these species are the ‘bloodwoods’, previously of the subgenus Corymbia but which were elevated to a separate genus, Corymbia, by Hill and Johnson (1995). For the purpose of this chapter, as throughout this book, and in line with the preference of Brooker (Chapter 1), species of Corymbia will be retained here under the genus Eucalyptus.1
