LEAVES: Alternate, trifoliate, long stalked leaves are dark green above and bronze beneath. The elliptic leaflets, about 7-12cm long, have conspicuous lateral veins. FLOWER/FRUITS: Terminal clusters of small creamish, bell-shaped flowers are followed by bunches of dry brown, one seeded, long winged fruits during December and January.

LOCAL HABITAT: Rainforest DISTRIBUTION: From the Torres Strait Islands to the Gladstone area. GENERAL: The timber has a similar grain to Silky Oak. The attractive foliage makes this fast-growing species a worthy ornamental for larger areas. S & A Pearson References: Alcock & Champion 1989 One Hundred and One Trees of Mackay.
