Common name for an uncommon species of eucalyptus tree, with various scientific botanical names, including Eucalyptus deglupta, Eucalyptus versicolor, Eucalyptus sarassa, Eucalyptus binacag, and Eucalyptus multiflora. It has a peeling bark of a striped army camouflage colour and pattern, though older varieties may have more and brighter colours, including different shades of yellow, orange, red, blue, bright green and purple, and those are commonly referred to as Rainbow Trees. Comparable to other eucalyptus trees, it continually renews its bark from the inside by throwing off its outer skin. The bark subsequently cracks and peels off producing colourful stripes, reminiscent of those on a tiger. In Thai, it is known by the names seua kohng (เสือโค้ง), i.e. ‘arching tiger’, for its tiger-like striped pattern; ton pleuay (ต้นเปลือย), i.e. ‘stripped tree’ or ‘bare tree’, for its naked trunk, and ton pleuak mai laai phraang (ต้นเปลือกไม้ลายพราง), literally ‘tree with camouflage striped bark’ or simply ‘camouflage tree’, for its characteristic army camouflage colours. It is said to be the only eucalyptus that grows naturally in the northern hemisphere. Eucalyptus deglupta can grow up to sixty meters high and reach a diameter of 1.80 meter. Although rare, it is most usually found in northern Thailand. 回
