Beilschmiedia bancroftii
Also called Yellow Walnut, Yellownut
Beilschmiedia bancroftii is a tropical rainforest tree from northeast Queensland, Australia, sometimes called yellow walnut or canary ash. It is a large forest tree rarely grown in gardens, so care notes apply mainly to young plants in a warm, humid, shaded setting.
Beilschmiedia bancroftii is a tree species in the family Lauraceae. It is native to Queensland in Australia. Common names include yellow walnut, yellow nut and canary ash.
The species was first formally described by Queensland colonial botanist Frederick Manson Bailey in 1891, based on plant material collected on the Johnstone River and "other scrubs of tropical Queensland". It was initially named Cryptocarya bancroftii, but later transferred to the genus Beilschmiedia in 1918 by Cyril Tenison White.
