Blue Gum

Blue Gum usually refers to the subspecies or the species in "Eucalyptus globulus" complex, however it may also refer to a number of other species of "Eucalyptus" in Australia. Confusingly, in Queensland it usually refers to "Eucalyptus tereticornis", which is known elsewhere as Forest Red Gum.
