The scientific name for the Australian gum tree is Eucalyptus. Eucalyptus is a diverse genus of flowering trees and shrubs in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae. There are over 700 species of Eucalyptus, most of which are native to Australia. The name "Eucalyptus" is derived from the Greek words "eu" (well) and "kalyptos" (covered), referring to the operculum covering the flower bud.
