	This Australian native from the rainforest fringes of far north Queensland has become invasive outside its original range. Growing to a height of 30m it has rounded foliage and a smooth green trunk with grey scaly bark at the base. Flowers in masses of scented cream balls held in terminal clusters.

HOW IT SPREADS A profusion of seeds are spread by wind from rounded woody capsules. The large number of ornamental plantings has created a large 'seed bank' that enables this plant to invade natural bushland. Seeds and gum are spread by native bees.
