I'd like to add my thanks as well. Some people have Eucalyptus (Gum) trees as ornamental plants over here in the UK. I regularly get branches and boles offered and have very little knowledge of what each really is, the posted sites will help immensely,

Thanks

Thanks for posting.
We don't have the huge variety that you have there but lots of eucalypts, acacias, and melaleucas are planted in landscapes & windbreaks here in California too.
One of the problems I run into is that common plant or animal names can vary from region to region.
I read once that Linnaeus devised the binomial system to impress his girlfriend
but since the Latin is a "dead " language the root meanings remain the same,
which makes for a good universal nomenclature system.
This link has been posted here before... it takes you to a site with
good photos and info.
The scope is more focused on timbers of the world but it is certainly useful.

Another World Wide one is The Wood Explorer Database. (http://www.thewoodexplorer.com/)
There seem to be a few script errors on some pages (ie. some of the links back are a bit iffy) but you can work around them to get at the pics & info on a lot of timbers.
