Structural isomer2
The molecule's internal plane of symmetry renders it achiral (Figure 2), meaning there is only one structural form (i.e., no enantiomeric left- and right-handed forms), although the structural isomer 1,4-Cineole also exists but is typically found to much lesser extents. (bhftechnologies.com.au)
