Description

The first papers on essential oils from the leaf of Eucalyptus trees, published by Bosisto and Osborne in the early 1860s, concerned only the yields, physical properties and uses of eucalyptus oils (see July issue, p. 28). This article summarises subsequent pioneering work in the late 1800s on the isolation, characterisation and structure determination of three important monoterpenes found in eucalyptus oils.

"... the rengitj, as a visible mark or imprint on the land, is characterised as a place of origin, the repository of all names, as well as a kind of mapped visual expression of the connection between people and places which is to be carried out in the temporal sequence of the journey."
