A eucalyptus leaf is a vegan food item. Eating it will cure sickness and nausea if not cursed.[1] It can also be applied to use it as a whistle, acting as a magic whistle if blessed and a tin whistle otherwise. There is a 2% chance that a blessed eucalyptus leaf will become uncursed after being used as a whistle.[2]

It is fairly rare - only 0.3% of all food items are eucalyptus leaves. There is a 4.7% chance of some in Sokoban, and roughly 35.1% chance of obtaining any by kicking and then cutting down both trees in the forest mine town. Rangers are near-guaranteed some from their quest's trees. Relevant to pacifists, eucalyptus cannot be generated in any monster's inventory, as opposed to death drops.

Trivia

The effect of acting as a magic whistle seems to be based on the 1960's Australian TV show Skippy the Bush Kangaroo[3], which had a recognisable theme call that was played on a eucalyptus leaf. The show's eponymous macropod would then come bounding through the bush to whomever played the eucalyptus leaf.
