I'm from Australia but hadn't heard of the Rainbow Eucalypt before (the tree that the featured tetrachromat painted). That's not so unlikely as there are a lot of Eucalyptus species.
Still, I was curious and so looked it up and was very interested to find that it is a Eucalypt from outside Australia and, more than that, the only one whose native region partly lies within the northern hemisphere. Another name for it is the Mindanao gum, as it is native to the tropical rainforests of Mindanao in the Philippines (north of the equator).
