Georg Rumphius described a tree from the island of Seram in Herbarium Amboinense (1741–50) as Arbor Versicolor. It is undoubtedly Eucalyptus deglupta and therefore a pre-Linnaean description of Eucalyptus long before it was ‘discovered’ by the British and described by the French in 1789. Rumphius also described species of other large Australian tree genera, Acacia, Casuarina and Melaleuca that have outlying species from Maluku (Moluccan Islands), thereby cementing a deserved reputation in the history of Australian botany.
