Nuytsia floribunda (Labill.) R. Br. ex Fenzl — the Western Australian Christmas Tree. The journal is 
named after the plant, which in turn commemorates Pieter Nuijts, an ambassador of the Dutch East India 
Company, who in 1627 accompanied the "Guide Zeepard" on one of the first explorations along the south coast 
of Australia.
