Eucalypteae

Eucalypteae is a large tribe of flowering plants in the family Myrtaceae; members of this tribe are known as eucalypts.^[1][2] 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.^[3] As of 2020^[update], the tribe comprised around 860 species, all native to Southeast Asia and Oceania, with a main diversity center in Australia.^[4]
