Eucalyptus cinerea
silver dollar eucalyptus
Round silver-grey leaves down a straight stem, matte and faintly powdery, and the strongest scent in the bouquet by a distance. It reads as calm and as air, and it does more than any other stem to make an arrangement look composed.

Eucalyptus species have been used medicinally by Aboriginal Australian peoples for a very long time, and the leaf oil entered European pharmacopoeia in the nineteenth century on the strength of that use.
