Alstonia muelleriana
Also called Hairy milky pine, Yellowwood
Hard milkwood is an evergreen rainforest tree from northeast Queensland and southern New Guinea, growing 15 to 25 m tall. It is a timber and landscape tree rather than a common garden plant, and it thrives in wet tropical conditions.
Alstonia muelleriana is a tree in the dogbane family Apocynaceae which is native to southern Papua New Guinea and northeastern Queensland.
The range of the hard milkwood is restricted to a small part of northeastern Queensland, from near Rossville to the Paluma Range N.P. north of Townsville, and also the southwestern parts of Papua New Guinea.
