Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Research on the Eucalypts: Especially in Regard to Their Essential Oils
In the previous edition the species more particularly investigated were those restricted to the South Eastern area of the Continent, but since that publication was issued the research has extended to species found in all the States of the mainland, as well as those of Tasmania. No pains have been spared in the endeavour to insure that the material worked upon was true to name - botanically correct; and in order to determine the constancy of the product from individual species, material has been collected from widely separated localities, so that commercial require ments for uniformity might be satisfied. The collection of such a mass of material for investigation was no, small task, the genus being distributed over an area of about square miles of territory, more particularly when it is understood that, with two or three exceptions, all the distillations were carried out in Sydney under our own supervision, the necessary botanical control being, in this way, well assured.
