Details :

• Common Name : Eucalyptus
• English  Name : Blue Gum
• Botanical Name : Eucalyptus Globulus Labill.

Eucalyptus globulus, the Tasmanian bluegum,southern blue-gum or blue gum, is an evergreen tree, one of the most widely cultivated trees. The bark sheds often, peeling in large strips. The broad juvenile leaves are borne in opposite pairs on square stems. They are about 6 to 15 cm long and covered with a blue-grey, waxy bloom, which is the origin of the common name "blue gum". The mature leaves are narrow, sickle-shaped and dark shining green.
The leaves are steam distilled to extract eucalyptus oil. E. globulus is the primary source of global eucalyptus oil production, The oil has therapeutic, perfumery, flavoring, antimicrobial and biopesticide properties. Oil yield ranges from 1.0-2.4% (fresh weight), with cineole being the major isolate. E. globulus oil has established itself internationally because it is virtually phellandrene free, a necessary characteristic for internal pharmaceutical use. Nowadays leaves are used in herbal tea also.
