An introductory page for our selection of stock pictures of eucalypts or "gum trees", which encompass three genera: Eucalyptus, Corymbia and Angophora. Covering around 1000 species of shrubs and trees, almost all of which are endemic to Australia, the eucalypts are a diverse group but one which is nevertheless usually instantly recognisable, through either the aromatic often blue-green foliage, the peeling bark, the showy flowerheads or a combination of all of those features. Although eucalypts tend to be ground-robbing and do create considerable litter, many are very beautiful and some are among the most magnificent and imposing of trees.

The Angophora species make up a fairly small part of the group of plants known as eucalypts or gum trees. Ten species are currently recognised and they are endemic to Australia. They are most easily recognised by their ribbed seed capsules.
Corymbia is a fairly recent division of the group of plants known as eucalypts or gum trees. There are thought to be 113 species and they are endemic to Australia. Some have spectacular flowerheads.
Eucalyptus is the genus most commonly referred to as gum tree or eucalypt. It is made up of 700-800 species of large shrubs and trees and is distributed across Australia, including Tasmania and a few species extend northwards as far as the Philippines.
