Eucalyptus camphora

Eucalyptus camphora, commonly known as swamp gum is a flowering plant that is endemic to south-eastern Australia.

It is a species of small to medium-sized tree with smooth bark, sometimes rough at the base, broadly lance-shaped to egg-shaped or elliptic adult leaves, flower buds in groups of seven, white flowers and conical fruit.

[3][4][5][6][7] Eucalyptus camphora was first formally described in 1899 by Richard Thomas Baker who published the description in the Proceedings of the Linnean Society of New South Wales.

[8][9] The specific epithet (camphora) refers to camphor in the essential oil of the leaves.

Subspecies humeana grows in similar habitats from Wee Jasper in New South Wales to the mountainous country east and north of Melbourne in Victoria.
