Typical male fleeing from emu, camouflaged in trees (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eucalypti

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'in trees' is the definition.
'eucalypti' can be an answer for 'trees' (I've seen this before). I am not certain of the 'in' bit.

'typical male fleeing from emu camouflaged' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
an anagram of 'typical' is 'calypti' which is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for eucalypti that I've seen before include "Australian trees" , "Gum trees" , "Oil producers" , "Gums" , "Oil sources" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
