#### Eucalyptus Sideroxylon.
See also **Eucalyptus Leucoxylon**. Together with this and the oil of **E. Elaeophora**, a pharmaceutical eucalyptus oil is produced from a mixture of leaves of all three trees in the eastern and south eastern parts of Australia.
However, the **E.**** ****Sideroxylon**** **is mentioned here because significant plantings of this tree have been under cultivation in the Dundee-Carolina provinces of the Union of South Africa for several years. Eucalyptus oil is also distilled in these plantations. Australia is the main supplier of the mixed oil.
As for the oil itself, it is of little interest to the perfumer or the flavorist. The oil is quite similar to the earlier mentioned oils of **Eucalyptus Globulus **and **E. Smithii**, (next monograph). A number of other eucalyptus species are also distilled in Australia and yield similar **Eucapharma**** **oils, but these oils are either used locally or exported as pharmaceutical eucalyptus oils, or even as **Eucalyptus "Globulus**", a designation still demanded by many customers.
