The Identity of Trees Currently Known as Eucalyptus grandis in the Republic of South Africa Based on Isozyme Frequencies

Abstract

Pattern analyses of isozyme frequency data from Australian populations of E. grandis Hill ex Maiden and E. saligna Sm. populations in the Republic of South Africa known as E. grandis, (including a derived population from Zambia) show that the latter are mostly within the range of Australian E.grandis. There is evidence that the source of the South African populations was centered in New South Wales or southern Queensland.
