Eucalyptus olida

Eucalyptus olida, commonly known as strawberry gum[2] or sometimes as forest berry,[3]: 4  is a species of small to medium-sized tree that is endemic to a restricted area of New South Wales, Australia.

[6][7] The specific epithet (olida) is from the Latin olidus, meaning "smelling" or "rank", referring to the odour of the leaves when crushed.

[5] This eucalypt is restricted to the Gibraltar Range National Park and nearby Timbarra Plateau, where it grows in forest and woodland in shallow soil derived from granite.

[8] Extracts from the leaves in hexane, methanol and ethyl acetate solvents have high anti-oxidant activity.

[3]: 19–20 The dried, ground leaves of E. olida are also used as a complementary or enhancing spice in bushfood cooking, with a flavour described as sweet, aromatic, and a mix of berry and passionfruit.
