EUCALYPT
Eucalypts are woody plants belonging to three closely related genera:
''Eucalyptus'', ''Corymbia'' and ''Angophora''.
The eucalypts are primarily Australasian in distribution.
In 1995 new evidence, largely genetic, indicated that some prominent ''Eucalyptus'' species were actually more closely related to ''Angophora'' than to the other eucalypts; they were split off into the new genus ''Corymbia''. Although separate, the three groups are allied and it remains acceptable to refer to the members of all three genera ''Angophora'', ''Corymbia'' and ''Eucalyptus'' as "eucalypts".
