Eucalyptus Smithii: Eucalyptus trees, with 600 species native to Australia, have been successfully transplanted to many other warm regions of the world, such as Central Asia, North Africa and the Mediterranean. Although generally subtropical, only a few species grow well in northeastern areas. These evergreen trees grow very tall and fast, with leaves that contain drops of essential oil. Commercial distillation of eucalyptus oil began in Australia in 1854 and spread to other countries where the tree was acclimated. Early research on the antiseptic and antibacterial properties of the oil was published in Germany by physicians Cloez (1870), Faust and Homeyer (1874). The oil was classified as sudorific, stimulant, anti-catarrhal and astringent, and was prescribed for respiratory conditions such as bronchitis, influenza, asthma and cough. These properties are still the best known, and many French prescriptions and commercial preparations for colds include eucalyptus in various forms.
