Terminalia bursarina, commonly known as bendee, is a tree of the family Combretaceae native to northern parts of Australia. [1]

The erect and straggly tree typically grows to a height of 8 metres (26 ft) in height and has deeply fissured bark. It blooms between June and September producing white-yellow flowers. [1] The species is very similar to Terminalia canescens but has smaller leaves and fruits. [2]

It is in rock crevices and in river beds in the Kimberley region of Western Australia and the Northern Territory growing in sandy-stony soils over sandstone.
