Eucalyptus oleosa, commonly known as the red mallee, glossy-leaved red mallee or the acorn mallee,[1] is a native tree of Australia. The leaves were once harvested for the production of cineole based eucalyptus oil.[2] Eucalyptus cneorifolia is now the predominant strain used in production due to a higher oil content in new growth.
