Canarium australianum

Canarium australianum is a species of trees, native to Australia and Papua New Guinea, of the plant family Burseraceae. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] Common names include mango bark, scrub turpentine, carrot wood, parsnip wood, Melville Island white beech and brown cudgerie. [1] [3] [4]

Three varieties are recognised in the Australian Plant Census: [1]

In Australia trees of all three varieties grow naturally widespread across northern regions, from sea level up to about 500 m (1,600 ft) altitude. In particular, growing in the Kimberley region of Western Australia, the Arnhem Land region of the Northern Territory, in north-eastern Queensland in the Wet Tropics region, further southwards from there as far as about Airlie Beach and further north in Cape York Peninsula and the Torres Strait Islands. [3] [4] [5]

Full grown trees may grow up to about 20–30 m (70–100 ft) tall. [3] [4] [5]
