Botanical source

Eucalyptus camaldulensis is a large tree along Australian rivers. The name 'river red gum' reflects the riparian habitat and the reddish wood.

This is the most widely distributed eucalyptus species in Australia. The oil is steam-distilled from the leaves.

Family Myrtaceae. Produced across many African and Asian countries.
