The page on Timonius timon (the timon tree) has been largely re-written. The previous page contained a great deal of information about the German-born Dutch naturalist Georg Everhard Rumphius. He had been included because Timonius rumphii had been given as a synonym. The Kew Plant List no longer recognizes this as a correct synonym. Nevertheless, Rumphius was a fascinating character, and it is worth having a glance at his biography here.
