Yeah, but did you know the taxonomy of gum trees has recently been
changed? Just to upset all our applecarts, I s'pose. In fact, a friend
who is a botanist in Texas broke the news to me. I was talking to her
about Angophoras and she gently corrected me, saying 'You mean
'Corymbia', don't you?' Apparently, the whole family Myrtaceae has been
revamped and 'fixed' so that many former Eucalyptus species now come
under 'Corymbia'. I think there's more info on the SGAP website.

Ack! Why do they do these things to us?

Because our botany hasn't been studied for very long, we're still working
things out. Most eucalypts are still eucalypts.
