Little known fact: The word eucalyptus is derived from Old Greek meaning "well covered". This refers to the part of the sepals that initially cover the flower. The tree was introduced to Europe in the nineteenth century as an ornamental species but has developed certain characteristics which do not appear in its native home, like it’s chemical substances which poison the surrounding soil, inhibiting the growth of plants in the area. Since Eucalyptus is an effective insect repellent, which deters mosquitoes from breeding in the area immediately around the trees, in North Africa, groves of Eucalyptus trees have been planted in swampy and unhealthy areas to prevent the spread of malaria.
