The Tasmanian Blue Gum (Eucalyptus globulus) is Tasmania's floral emblem and one of the world's tallest flowering plants. Its distinctive blue-grey juvenile leaves and creamy bark that sheds in long ribbons make it instantly recognisable.
Native Habitat
Eucalyptus globulus grows in the forests of Tasmania, southern Victoria, and the Bass Strait islands. It thrives in high-rainfall areas with deep, fertile soils, often reaching heights above 60 metres in old-growth stands.
Cultural Heritage
Tasmanian Aboriginal peoples used blue gum bark for shelter construction and medicinal preparations. The species was one of the first eucalypts formally described by European botanists, documented by Jacques Labillardière during the d'Entrecasteaux expedition of 1792.

The Story Behind the Print
Every print in our collection begins with a historical botanical illustration, many over 150 years old, sourced from institutional archives and scientific expeditions that first documented Australia's extraordinary native flora.
These illustrations were originally created by botanical artists who spent weeks in the field, working directly from living specimens. The level of detail in each plate reflects a scientific tradition where accuracy was paramount and beauty was a natural consequence of careful observation.
We reproduce each illustration using FSC-certified archival paper and calibrated colour processes that preserve the subtlety of the original work. The result is a print that honours the craft of the original artist while meeting contemporary standards for sustainable production.
