Eucalyptus leaves & many cleaning products (in Australia at least). You can also find cough drops, and chest rubs with eucalyptus in it, as it really helps when you have a cold - the eucalyptus really clears your nose and throat.

I think the Noxzema I use has some in it.

1) Gum: "Many, but far from all, are known as gum trees in reference to the habit of many species to exude copious sap from any break in the bark (e.g. Scribbly Gum)." 2) Wood: "They provide many desirable characteristics for use as ornament, timber, firewood and pulpwood. Fast growth also makes eucalypts suitable as windbreaks." "Eucalyptus is also used to make the digeridoo, a musical wind instrument made popular by the Aborigines of Australia." 3) Water: "Eucalypts draw a tremendous amount of water from the soil through the process of transpiration. They have been planted (or re-planted) in some places to lower the water table and reduce soil salination. Eucalypts have also been used as a way of reducing malaria by draining the soil in Algeria, Sicily and also in Europe and California. Drainage removes swamps which provide a habitat for mosquito larvae, but such drainage can also destroy ecologically productive areas." 4) Eucalyptus oil: "Eucalyptus oil is readily steam distilled from the leaves and can be used for cleaning, deodorising, and in very small quantities in food supplements; especially sweets, cough drops and decongestants. Eucalyptus oil has insect repellent properties (Jahn 1991 a, b; 1992), and is an active ingredient in some commercial mosquito repellents" "Eucalyptus oil is highly flammable (trees have been known to explode) and bush fires can travel easily through the oil-rich air of the tree crowns. The dead bark and fallen branches are also flammable." 5) nectar: "The nectar of some eucalyptus produces high quality monofloral honey." 6) colours: "All parts of the eucalyptus may be used to make plant dyes that are substantive on protein fibres (silk and wool) simply by processing the plant part with water[citation needed]. Colours to be achieved range from yellow and orange through green, tan, chocolate and deep rust red. The material remaining after processing can be safely used as mulch" 7) mulch: "In agriculture and gardening, mulch is a protective cover placed over the soil, primarily to modify the effects of the local climate. A wide variety of natural and synthetic materials are used." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mulch 8) leaves: "Nearly all Eucalyptus are evergreen but some tropical species lose their leaves at the end of the dry season. As in other members of the Myrtle family, Eucalyptus leaves are covered with oil glands. The copious oils produced are an important feature of the genus." 9) flowers and fruits: "The most readily recognisable characteristics of Eucalyptus species are its distinctive flowers and fruit (capsule)." 10) bark: " The smooth upper bark of the half barks and that of the completely smooth-barked trees and mallees can produce remarkable colour and interest, for example Eucalyptus deglupta." 11) various animals: " it is the formylated phloroglucinol compounds that are the most important factor in choice of leaves by koalas. Eucalyptus flowers produce a great abundance of nectar, providing food for many pollinators including insects, birds, bats and possums. Despite the fact that eucalyptus trees are well-defended from herbivores by their toxic essential oils they do have their share of insect pests, such as the Eucalyptus Longhorn Borer Beetle, Phoracantha semipunctuata, or the aphid-like psyllids known as "bell lerps," both of which have become established as pests throughout the world wherever eucalypts are cultivated."

Soaking the leaves in water releases a mild tranquiliser which stuns fish, making them easy to catch." 13) ghosts: "les ghosts eucalyptus, nommes ainsi a cause de leurs ecorces blanches luminescentes (on les voit la nuit)" Source: http://reincarnation.over-blog.com/article-3080128.html Translation: "The ghosts eucalyptus, thus named because of their luminescent white bark (you can see it at night)"
