Argyrodendron trifoliolatum
White booyong is a large Australian rainforest tree from eastern Queensland and northeastern New South Wales, reaching up to 45 metres with large buttressed trunks. It is a shade-tolerant climax species of warm subtropical rainforest, so it is grown as a rainforest or large shade tree rather than a typical garden plant.
