Eucalyptus groves described in an 1874 publication ↗

In an 1874 publication, Robert Bentley describes the foliage of eucalyptus groves as giving the surrounding air an odour he calls agreeable, aromatic, camphoraceous and stimulating.

A botanist's description published in 1874, set within the miasma theory of fever, which SmellBook does not endorse; it is not a measurement of eucalyptus odour.
