The subgenera Eudesmia, Monocalyptus, Gaubaea, Idiogenes, Symphyomyrtus and Telocalyptus appear to form a well defined monophyletic group encompassing most of Eucalyptus, but the exact sister taxon to this group remains unresolved. The results suggest that subgenera Corymbia and Blakella are paraphyletic and that Telocalyptus should be submerged within the subgenus Symphyomyrtus.
