Australian Wild Gum Blossom. “Gum Tree” is the most common name for the 500 kinds of Australian Eucalyptus. There are many common names and these usually arise from a common feature such as: type of timber, nature of bark, leaf aroma and habit of growth. The flowers have no petals, as they are formed into a cap which covers the stamens and falls off to allow the fluffy stamens to protrude.
