Belonging to the myrtle plant family Myrtaceae, the word “eucalyptus” comes from the Greek word “eukalyptos” meaning “covered” or “wrapped.” This refers to the woody seed pod of the eucalyptus tree which dangles down from the branches and almost completely covers the eucalyptus blossoms. There are well over 900 different species of eucalyptus, both trees and shrubs.
Most eucalyptus species grow in Australia. In fact 75% of trees in Australia are some variety of eucalyptus. They are also found in Indonesia, New Guinea, South Africa, California, and are being cultivated in many other tropical and subtropical regions as well.
