Description
EUCLID is the definitive electronic identification and information system for Australian eucalypts, which has now been expanded to include northern Australia.

Covering the morphology – habit, bark, leaves, flowers, fruits, buds, seeds and juveniles – and some geographic and ecological information, this is a simple means of naming a eucalypt plant or specimen using whatever information is available to you.

Easy to navigate fact sheets for each species include a botanical description, common name, the formal scientific name together with nomenclatural synonyms, geographic and ecological information, and notes covering relationships, distinguishing features and other species it might be confused with. This information is complemented with over 9000 high-quality colour images covering each species, illustrating all the main features of the plant, and a map showing natural distribution.

Reviews
"How good is the key at identifying an unknown eucalypt? The simple answer is very very good… I think the bold claim on the dust cover is acceptable. EUCLID is a must have for anyone with an interest in this ubiquitous group Australian plants."
John Clarkson, Australian Systematic Botany Newsletter 129 (December 2006)

Readership
