Diversity and Distribution of Eucalyptus

Eucalyptus diversity and distribution Eucalyptus is a species of hardwood evergreen forest, the most prominent element of Australia's vegetation. Its members account for 95% of the forests of the continent of Africa and are the main trees of the Australian forest zone (Kelly 1969). It is a very diverse population of about 500 named species and subspecies, with nearly 200 hybrids (Blakely 1965). The majority of this genus is unique to mainland Australia and Tasmania.

Eucalyptus globulus - Eucalyptus is native to the southeastern part of Australia, but it grows in Spain, Portugal, Morocco, Brazil and even China. This oil is commonly used for chest and sinus infections, influenza and cold. Plants are considered to be antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal. Traditionally, it is also used to reduce heat. It is no wonder that you see this oil at many commercial pharmacies to prepare for a cough or a cold. Melaleuca alternifolia - As with Eucalyptus, this Australian plant is known to produce essential oils with strong antibacterial and antiviral properties. It is also essentially antimycotic, antiparasitic and preservative. You will often see tea tree oils used as part of skin care - especially for acne

There are at least one other plant extract that you may think of as "eucalyptus oil" menthol ". As the name suggests, this oil comes from eucalyptus leaves or related plants. This oil is used as a component of perfume, cosmetics, mouthwashes, preservatives, ointments, toothpastes, antitussives. The main compound of eucalyptus oil is usually eucalyptus. Eucalyptus oil such as wintergreen oil may cause serious toxicity if ingested excessively. So now we can answer the original question: what is mint? The best answer is that peppermint is a plant of the genus Mentha, which contains mint and spearmint (the two most common examples) as well as several other closely related plants. You can also talk about mints, litters and families that contain plenty scented plants that are used as herbs in the garden, such as basil and sage.

I can not help noticing that we have plenty of eucalyptus plantations throughout the route to Catucaba. Eucalyptus is from a rapidly growing Australia and has abnormal thirst. When asked about our hiking guide, he explained that a very large company planted a lot of these for these things. After planting the trees, they brought a "green" subsidy and made a tick in the box. However, they are highly destructive to the foundation of soil, and chemical spills from intensive growth plans contaminate rivers and streams, and after several cuts the land has other purposes It is useless. The Brazilian government can point out the fact that 'sustainable' forestry is used to supply electricity to factories and power plants, but the real result is to participate in Brazil's environmental massacre I am disappointed.
