Eucalyptus Blue Mallee attracts much popularity, the refreshingly sweet scent of Eucalyptus Blue Mallee (which just means blue leaved) and is also sometimes known as Murraylands Mallee essential oil is enjoyed by many for its pleasant aroma and easy assimilation.

The leaves are leathery in texture, hang obliquely or vertically, and are studded with glands containing a fragrant volatile oil. The flowers in bud are covered with a cup-like membrane (whence the name of the genus, derived from the Greek eucalyptos well-covered), which is thrown off as a lid when the flower expands. The fruit is surrounded by a woody, cupshaped receptacle and contains numerous minute seeds.

Eucalyptus trees are quick growers and many species reach a great height. Eucalyptus amygdalin (Labille) is the tallest known tree, specimens attaining as much as 480 feet, exceeding in height even the Californian Big Tree (Sequoia gigantea). Many species yield valuable timber, others oils, kino, etc.

There are a great number of species of Eucalyptus trees yielding essential oils, the foliage of some being more odourous than that of others, and the oils from the various species differing widely in character. It necessarily follows that the term Eucalyptus oil is meaningless from a scientific point of view unless the species from which it is derived is stated.

History of Eucalyptus:-

There are over 600 species of Eucalyptus. It is a native of Australia, but also grows in China where there are several notable species. It was regarded as a general cure-all by the Aborigines and later by the white settlers. Eucalyptus was introduced to Europe in 1788 and the first oil exported to England was called ‘Sydney peppermint’ and became very popular. It was extracted from Eucalyptus peperita which is a more industrial type of oil.

In Europe it was distilled from at least 1788, when two Doctors, John White and Dennis Cossiden distilled Eucalyptus for its use in treating chest problems and colic. The first works of the antiseptic and bacterial properties of the oil were published in Germany by Doctors Cole and Homeyer. They classified it as being “sudorific, a stimulant anticatharral and astringent”. It was prescribed for all respiratory system conditions such as bronchitis, flu, asthma and coughs.
