Eucalyptus staigeriana


Eucalyptus staigeriana, Lemon Ironbark or Lemon-scented Ironbark, is a small rough barked sclerophyll tree that grows naturally in pure stands on hills in the Palmer River region of Cape York, North Queensland, Australia.

The complex essential oil is distilled from the leaves and used for flavouring, perfumery and aromatherapy.

It has a fruity-lemon fragrance with rosemary-like back tones.

Eucalyptus staigeriana fresh weight leaves yield 2,9 to 3,4% essential oil.

It contains a range of essential oil components, including geranial, methyl geranate, geranyl acetate, limonene, phellandrene, neral, terpinolene and geraniol.
