trees flowers native to south pacific

蓝桉  Eucalyptus globulus, the Tasmanian bluegum,^[1] southern blue-gum^[2] or blue gum, is an evergreen tree, one of the most widely cultivated trees native to Australia. They typically grow from 30–55 m (98–180 ft) tall. The tallest currently known specimen in Tasmania is 90.7 m (298 ft) tall.^[3] There are historical claims of even taller trees, the tallest being 101 m (331 ft).^[4] The natural distribution of the species includes Tasmania and southern Victoria(particularly the Otway Ranges and southern Gippsland). There are also isolated occurrences on King Island and Flinders Island in Bass Strait and on the summit of the You Yangs near Geelong. There are naturalised non-native occurrences in Spain and Portugal, and other parts of southern Europe incl. Cyprus, southern Africa, New Zealand, western United States (California), Hawaii, Macaronesia,^[5] and the Caucasus (Western Georgia).

- The leaves are steam distilled to extract eucalyptus oil. E. globulus is the primary source of global eucalyptus oil production, with China being the largest commercial producer.^[19][20] The oil has therapeutic, perfumery, flavoring, antimicrobial and biopesticide properties.^[21][22][23] Oil yield ranges from 1.0-2.4% (fresh weight), with cineole being the major isolate. E. globulus oil has established itself internationally because it is virtually phellandrene free, a necessary characteristic for internal pharmaceutical use.

Breadfruit (Artocarpus altilis) is a species of flowering tree in the mulberry and jackfruitfamily (Moraceae) originating in the South Pacific and eventually spreading to the rest of Oceania. British and French navigators introduced a few Polynesian seedless varieties to Caribbean islands during the late 18th century, and today it is grown in some 90 countries throughout South and Southeast Asia, the Pacific Ocean, the Caribbean, Central America and Africa.^[3] Its name is derived from the texture of the moderately ripe fruit when cooked, similar to freshly baked bread and having a potato-like flavor.


澳洲有大學科研團隊研究一種在南太平洋新喀里多尼亞雨林生長、會流出藍綠色樹膠的樹木，發現樹膠中含有重金屬鎳。研究人員認為，這是因為樹木吸收了土壤內的重金屬所致；他們正研究利用這種樹，清理泥土中的重金屬。http://orientaldaily.on.cc/cnt/china_world/20180908/00180_029.html
