What is the Yoruba name for eucalyptus?

There isn't a single, universally accepted Yoruba name for eucalyptus. This is because eucalyptus is a non-native plant to Yoruba culture, and therefore, there was no need for a specific name in the language.

However, you might find people using various translations or descriptions for the plant, such as:

* Igi Òòrùn (literally "sun tree") - This refers to its origin from a foreign land (the sun rising in the west, where it originated).

* Igi Òògbò (literally "foreign tree") - This simply indicates its non-native status.

* Igi Àbẹ́rẹ́ (literally "tree of the white") - This refers to the white bark of some eucalyptus species.

Ultimately, the most appropriate Yoruba name for eucalyptus would depend on the context and the specific species being discussed.
