Updates since publication (to 5^th December 2025)

General

All the eucalypts are now included in genus Eucalyptus, with Angophora and Corymbia now included in Eucalyptus. Some of the rationale for this change is provided in Nicolle (2024).

All of the species formerly included in Angophora and Corymbia in this book retain their same specific name, except:
Angophora floribunda (p. 18) is now Eucalyptus florida.
Angophora melanoxylon (p. 19) is now Eucalyptus melana.
Angophora costata (p. 20) is now Eucalyptus apocynifolia.
