Book Description
The work discusses the visible features of the adult leaves of eucalypts as seen with reflected and
transmitted light. Because venation and oil glands become obscure in dried specimens, this work relies entirely on the comprehensive sampling and observation of fresh leaves.
High quality, scaled, leaf venation images of vouchered specimens are used to compare all taxonomic groups in the eucalypts. All genera, sections, series and sub series are represented.
