description_en: Genus of about 8 species of evergreen trees and shrubs, closely related to Eucalyptus, found in dry to moist, tropical to warm-temperate woodland and thickets in Australia. The leathery leaves are simple and entire, opposite on mature plants, but often alternate on immature ones. The 5-petalled, creamy white flowers have a prominent crown of stamens, and are borne in terminal, corymb-like cymes. A. hispida, the most commonly grown species, is valued for its foliage, although flowers may be borne once the plant is 2-3m (6-10ft) tall. In frost-prone climates, grow in a cool greenhouse; in frost-free regions, use as handsome specimen trees.
