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.Eucalyptus trees 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`.
