Use of gas chromatograms of the essential leaf oils of the genus Eucalyptus for taxonomic purposes. Part II - Species of Eucalyptus series Levispermae, Curviptera subseries Orbifoliae, Caesiae, Ovulares and subgenus Eucalyptus

Principal components analyses were performed on the gas chromatograms of th e essential oils of many of the taxa in the botanical classifications (a) E . series Levispermae, (b) E. series Curviptera subseries Orbifoliae, (c) E. series Caesiae, (d) E. series Ovulares and (e) E. subgenus Eucalyptus; sin gle trees were used for each taxa. The scores of the principal components o f the component oils in each classification were examined to see if any cor relation was revealed between the botanical classification based on morphol ogy and the biochemical classification of components of the leaf oils.
