Dear Rebecca, thanks for your question.

It is good to know that my websitesare being visited in Australia, the homeland of the eucalypts.

I suggest you two ways for your choice. First, I recomendtwo fantastic books writtenby a friend of mine, Dr. David Kleinig, and other co-authors:

  • Eucalyptus: an Illustrated Guide to Identification (2008):
  • Field Guide to Eucalypts (1999 - several volumes)

The other option are websites, also with valuable information and pictures. Have a look to the following:

  • Association of Societies for Growing Australian Plants (ASGAP)
    Eucalypts - Selected Species
  • Euclid - A guide to Eucalypts of Southern Australia-
  • EucaLink- A Web Guide to the Eucalypts –
  • The Australian Native Plants Pages –
  • ZipCodeZoo Website –

I hope these indications may help you.

Regards

Hi Celso,

Thank you very much for your reply. I have decided to go with your suggestion of the "Field Guide to Eucalypts" as it appears to be exactly what I am after.

Thanks again for your help

Kind regards

Rebecca, just for your knowledge, a couple of years ago, about 90 species from the Eucalyptus genus have been reclassified to another genera Corymbia. It is the case of Corymbia maculata, Corymbia citriodora, Corymbia ficifolia, etc. For this specific reason the book from 1999 may be just a reference, since it does notinclude such reclassification which took place later.
