Blue Gum

Blue gum is a common name for subspecies or the species in Eucalyptus globulus complex, and also 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.

Other species are sometimes regarded as blue gums such as E. nitens, and the Sydney blue gum (Eucalyptus notabilis).
