Beilschmiedia brunnea, the brown walnut, is a large buttressed rainforest tree from northeast Queensland, Australia, reaching up to 35 m. It is rarely grown as a plant in home gardens, so care notes are general guidance for a wet tropical canopy tree.
Beilschmiedia brunnea, commonly known as brown walnut, is a species of plant in the family Lauraceae first described in 1989. It is a large tree native to northeast Queensland, Australia, and has a conservation status of least concern.
It grows in mature upland rainforest from the Clohesy River west of Kuranda, south across the Atherton Tableland to Koombooloomba National Park and west to Ravenshoe, at altitudes from 500 to 1,100 m (1,600 to 3,600 ft). It prefers soils based on granite and basalt.
