Georg Joseph Kamel

Georg Joseph Kamel (German: [ˈkaːml̩]; Latin: Georgius Josephus Camellus; Czech: Jiří Josef Kamel; Spanish: Jorge Camel; 12 April 1661 – 2 May 1706) was a Jesuit missionary, pharmacist and naturalist known for producing the first comprehensive accounts of Philippine flora and fauna and for introducing Philippine nature to the European learned world. A number of Kamel's treatises were published in the Philosophical Transactions, while his descriptions of Philippine flora appeared as an appendix to the third volume of John Ray's Historia Plantarum.
