Austromuellera is a genus in the plant family Proteaceae, containing only two described species. It is placed in the tribe Banksieae, its closest relatives being the genera Musgravea and Banksia. It is endemic to restricted areas of the wet tropics rainforests of northeastern Queensland, Australia. The genus was erected in 1930 by the Australian botanist Cyril Tenison White, and named in honour of the Victorian State Botanist Ferdinand von Mueller.
Alloxylon flammeum, commonly known as the Queensland tree waratah or red silky oak, is a medium-sized tree of the family Proteaceae found in the Queensland tropical rain forests of northeastern Australia. It has shiny green elliptical leaves up to 18 cm (7.1 in) long, and prominent orange-red inflorescences that appear from August to October, followed by rectangular woody seed pods that ripen in February and March. Juvenile plants have large deeply lobed pinnate leaves. Previously known as Oreocallis wickhamii, the initial specimen turned out to be a different species to the one cultivated and hence a new scientific name was required. Described formally by Peter Weston and Mike Crisp in 1991, A. flammeum was designated the type species of the genus Alloxylon. This genus contains the four species previously classified in Oreocallis that are found in Australasia.
Buckinghamia is a genus of only two known species of trees, belonging to the plant family Proteaceae.
