There are more than 9000 high quality colour images, and illustrations include photographs of the habit, bark, leaves, buds, seeds, flowers fruit and juveniles, and a distribution map.

The latest LucID Player ensures an easy-to-use and simple means of naming a eucalypt plant using whatever information is available.

It is designed for use by anyone, from professional researchers to the novice with a basic knowledge of plants, and is used widely by botanists and foresters, nursery workers, students and educators, land managers and farmers, horticulturists and gardeners.
