Fact sheet updates

Several fact sheets were updated in January 2020 to correct mistaken identifications. The following specimens of Eucalyptus were corrected:

Eucalyptus pimpiniana were corrected to be from E. robusta.

Eucalyptus saligna were corrected to be from E. grandis.

Eucalyptus pyrophora were corrected to be from E. todtiana.

The authors thank Tony Bean, Plant Taxonomist at the Queensland Herbarium, Brisbane Botanic Gardens, in Queensland, Australia, for bringing these corrected species identifications to our attention.
