Frederick Adamson

Frederick M. Adamson (born 1816, died 1860, age 44)^[1] was an early settler in Victoria, Australia. He was the first settler to make botanical collections in the Melbourne area; between 1840 and 1856, he sent to the Kew Herbarium a series of what William Hooker described as "extensive and excellent collections". Several of his specimens became syntypes for Eucalyptus macrorhyncha . Not much else is known about him, except that he was a member of the Philosophical Society of Victoria.
