Statement of Significance

Its compact canopy, dark foliage and unusual bark is particularly attractive. <EM>Flindersia australis</EM> is a rainforest tree from New South Wales and Queensland and grows up to 40 metres high, with larger trees having a buttressed trunk. This species is very rare in cultivation in Victoria. The only other known specimens in Victoria occur in the Royal Botanic Gardens.
