Fun Fact- Eucalyptus trees, the one plant from Australia that you can name, is nature's arsonist.
It has evolved to make oily leaves that catch on fire easily. Why? It is the guy in the fire fighter's suit- it can survive a fire, but other trees can't. Thus, it eliminates competition.
And that is also why koalas specialize in eucalyptus leaves- after the trees are done with their job, that is the only thing left to eat.
