   d8Eucalyptus \[d8]Eu`ca*lyp"tus\, n. [NL., from GR. [?] well,
      good + [?] covered. The buds of Eucalyptus have a
      hemispherical or conical covering, which falls off at
      anthesis.] (Bot.)
      A myrtaceous genus of trees, mostly Australian. Many of them
      grow to an immense height, one or two species exceeding the
      height even of the California Sequoia.
  
      Note: They have rigid, entire leaves with one edge turned
               toward the zenith. Most of them secrete resinous gums,
               whence they called {gum trees}, and their timber is of
               great value. {Eucalyptus Globulus} is the blue gum; {E.
               gigantea}, the stringy bark: {E. amygdalina}, the
               peppermint tree. {E. Gunnii}, the Tasmanian cider tree,
               yields a refreshing drink from wounds made in the bark
               in the spring. Other species yield oils, tars, acids,
               dyes and tans. It is said that miasmatic valleys in
               Algeria and Portugal, and a part of the unhealthy Roman
               Campagna, have been made more salubrious by planting
               groves of these trees.
