Eucalypteae
Eucalypteae is a large tribe of flowering plants in the family Myrtaceae; members of this tribe are known as eucalypts. In Australia the genera '' Angophora'', ''Corymbia'', and ''Eucalyptus'' are commonly known as gum trees, for the sticky substance that exudes from the trunk of some species. , the tribe comprised around 860 species, all native to Southeast Asia and Oceania, with a main diversity center in Australia. Genera There are seven genera in the tribe Eucalypteae: *''Allosyncarpia'' – Australia *'' Angophora'' – Australia *''Arillastrum'' – New Caledonia *''Corymbia'' – Oceania *''Eucalyptopsis'' – Indonesia, New Guinea *''Eucalyptus'' – Southeast Asia, Oceania *''Stockwellia ''Stockwellia'' is a monotypic genus in the flowering plant family Myrtaceae.

Eucalyptus
''Eucalyptus'' () is a genus of over seven hundred species of flowering trees, shrubs or mallees in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae. Along with several other genera in the tribe Eucalypteae, including '' Corymbia'', they are commonly known as eucalypts. Plants in the genus ''Eucalyptus'' have bark that is either smooth, fibrous, hard or stringy, leaves with oil glands, and sepals and petals that are fused to form a "cap" or operculum over the stamens. The fruit is a woody capsule commonly referred to as a "gumnut". Most species of ''Eucalyptus'' are native to Australia, and every state and territory has representative species. About three-quarters of Australian forests are eucalypt forests. Wildfire is a feature of the Australian landscape and many eucalypt species are adapted to fire, and resprout after fire or have seeds which survive fire. A few species are native to islands north of Australia and a smaller number are only found outside the continent. Eucalypts have been grow ...

Corymbia
''Corymbia'', commonly known as bloodwoods, is a genus of about one hundred species of tree that, along with ''Eucalyptus'', '' Angophora'' and several smaller groups, are referred to as eucalypts. Until 1990, corymbias were included in the genus ''Eucalyptus'' and there is still considerable disagreement among botanists as to whether separating them is valid. As of January 2020, ''Corymbia'' is an accepted name at the Australian Plant Census. Description Eucalypts in the genus ''Corymbia'' are trees, sometimes mallee-like, that either have rough, fibrous or flaky bark, or smooth bark that is shed in small flakes or short strips. Young plants and coppice regrowth have leaves that differ from adult leaves. The adult leaves are arranged alternately (strictly disjunct opposite, but appearing alternate), with oil glands. The flower buds are arranged in groups on a branching peduncle, each branch usually with seven buds, but with the pedicels of differing lengths, so that the inflo ...

Angophora
''Angophora'' is a genus of nine species of trees and shrubs in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae. Endemic to eastern Australia, they differ from other eucalypts in having juvenile and adult leaves arranged in opposite pairs, sepals reduced to projections on the edge of the floral cup, four or five overlapping, more or less round petals, and a papery or thin, woody, often strongly ribbed capsule. Species are found between the Atherton Tableland in Queensland and south through New South Wales to eastern Victoria, Australia. Description Plants in the genus ''Angophora'' are trees, occasionally shrubs, with rough bark except for '' A. costata''. The juvenile leaves differ from adult leaves in being hairy with raised oil glands. Both juvenile and adult leaves are arranged in opposite pairs, the adult leaves usually glabrous and paler on the lower surface. The flower buds are arranged in groups of three or seven. The flower has four or five small sepals, reduced to small projections on th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Angophora Costata
''Angophora costata'', commonly known as Sydney red gum, rusty gum or smooth-barked apple, is a species of tree that is endemic to eastern Australia. Reaching in height, the species has distinctive smooth bark that is pinkish or orange-brown when new and fades to grey with age. Its lance-shaped leaves are arranged in opposite pairs along the stems, with white or creamy white flowers appearing from October to December. The flower buds are usually arranged in groups of three, followed by ribbed, oval or bell-shaped fruit. Description ''Angophora costata'' is a tree that typically grows to a height of and forms a lignotuber. It has smooth pinkish or orange-brown bark that weathers to grey and is shed in small scales. Young plants and coppice regrowth have sessile, elliptical to egg-shaped leaves arranged in opposite pairs with a stem-clasping base, long and wide. Adult leaves are arranged in opposite pairs, glossy green but paler on the lower surface, lance-shaped or curved, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Nyssa Sylvatica
''Nyssa sylvatica'', commonly known as tupelo, black tupelo, black gum or sour gum, is a medium-sized deciduous tree native to eastern North America from the coastal Northeastern United States and southern Ontario south to central Florida and eastern Texas, as well as Mexico. Names ''Nyssa sylvatica'' genus name, ''Nyssa'', refers to a Greek water nymph; the species epithet ''sylvatica'' refers to its woodland habitat. The species' common name, tupelo, is of Native American origin, coming from the Creek words ''ito'' "tree" and ''opilwa'' "swamp"; it was in use by the mid-18th century. While these trees are often known as simply "tupelo", the fuller name, black tupelo, helps distinguish it from the other species of the tupelo genus ''Nyssa'', some of which have overlapping ranges, such as water tupelo (''N. aquatica'') and swamp tupelo (''N. biflora''). The name "tupelo" is used primarily in the American South; northward and in Appalachia, the tree is more commonly called t ...

Liquidambar
''Liquidambar'', commonly called sweetgum (star gum in the UK), gum, redgum, satin-walnut, or American storax, is the only genus in the flowering plant family Altingiaceae and has 15 species. They were formerly often treated in Hamamelidaceae. They are native to Southeast and east Asia, the eastern Mediterranean and eastern North America. They are decorative deciduous trees that are used in the wood industry and for ornamental purposes. Etymology Both the scientific and common names refer to the sweet resinous sap (''liquid amber'') exuded by the trunk when cut. Species Extant species Fossils * †'' Liquidambar changii'' - Miocene (Washington state, North America) Description They are all large, deciduous trees, tall, with palmately 3- to 7-lobed leaves arranged spirally on the stems and length of , having a pleasant aroma when crushed. Their leaves can be many colors such as bright red, orange, yellow, and even purple. Mature bark is grayish and vertically groove ...

Tristaniopsis Laurina
''Tristaniopsis laurina'', the water gum or kanooka, is a tree species native to Australia. It usually grows near the eastern coastline and along the banks of streams, where the trunks and branches tend to be shaped in the direction of the current and give an indication of the flood height. Description ''Tristaniopsis laurina'' has a slow rate of growth, and usually reaches tall. The tree is multi-branched, and may be pruned to maintain a compact shape. It can grow to be tall in native habitats. The flowers are bright yellow and have a distinctive and, to some, unpleasant odour. They attract honeybees as well as small native species of bee. They usually bloom in the late spring or early summer. Cultivation ''Tristaniopsis laurina'' is cultivated as an ornamental tree by plant nurseries, for use in gardens and civic landscaping. It is popular because it is easy to grow and is a good shade tree. Many are planted as street trees, especially in Sydney. See also *''Tristaniop ...
