Sticky

Eucalyptus gunnii 'Silver Drop'
Family: Myrtaceae

Touch this eucalyptus and you will find a 40-cm tall plant with lots of loosely spreading branches. It has many small round, opposite leaves, without petioles. Hold a branch at its base and gently run your hand upward and you will hear the shrub Asing. In warm weather, the leaves release a sticky, oily substance with a slightly camphorated scent.
