Corymbia
Also called Bloodwoods, Gum
Corymbia, the bloodwoods, is a genus of about 100 mostly tall eucalypt-relative trees native to Australia and nearby New Guinea. Commonly grown members are valued as shade and street trees in warm, dry climates.
Corymbia, commonly known as bloodwoods, is a genus of about one hundred species of tree that, along with Eucalyptus, Angophora and several smaller groups, are referred to as eucalypts. Until 1990, corymbias were included in the genus Eucalyptus and there is still considerable disagreement among botanists as to whether separating them is valid. As of January 2020, Corymbia is an accepted name at the Australian Plant Census.
Species of Corymbia occur in all mainland states of Australia and in the Northern Territory. There are about 100 species, all endemic to Australia except for four species that also occur in New Guinea, and one that is endemic to that island.
