Phellandrene was named after and was isolated for the first time from Eucalyptus phellandra essential oil which may contain up to 40% of α-phellandrene and up to 50% of 1.8-cineole (eucalyptol).

26 compounds have been identified in 23 E.radiata leaf essential oil samples from South Africa (yield 0.14-4.31%). The highest essential oil yields can be obtained during spring/summer months (high rainfall and high temperature conditions) from mature leaves. Major compounds were 1,8-cineole (65.7% ± 9.5), α-terpineol (12.8% ± 4.4) and limonene (6.5% ± 2.4).
Literature shows that 1,8-cineole (69.5-82.6%) was also major component in E.radiata oils from Australia, India, Zambia, Germany, and Tunisia. Minor components were α-terpineol (7.0-12.4%), α-pinene (0-11.9%), and limonene (0-7.3%).
