Lindera queenslandica

Lindera queenslandica is a tree that grows up to 35 m (115 ft) tall with a trunk up to 90 cm (35 in) diameter. Buttresses are usually present in more mature trees. The leaves are simple (without divisions or lobes) and are generally about 14 cm (5.5 in) long and 6 cm (2.4 in), with 6–11 pairs of lateral veins. Both side are glossy green, the underside paler than the top. The midrib is flush with the upper surface, domatia are absent and the petiole averages about 30 mm (1.2 in) long. The inflorescence is umbellate, emerging from the leaf axils, with 9–15 flowers per umbel. Flowers are creamy green and scented, and they have neither petals nor sepals. The fruit is a red or black drupe, almost spherical, measuring about 14 mm (0.55 in) wide and long. It contains a single brown seed about 9 mm (0.4 in) diameter. This species is dioecious, meaning that male and female flowers are borne on separate plants.

It is found in Queensland from northern Cape York Peninsula as far south as the Ingham area. It grows in rainforest on various soil types, at altitudes from sea level to about 1,000 m (3,300 ft).
