About

Beilschmiedia tooram, commonly known as coach walnut, brown walnut or Tooram's walnut, is a tree in the family Lauraceae found only in the Wet Tropics bioregion of Queensland, Australia. It was first described by Frederick Manson Bailey as Endiandra tooram in 1901, and transferred to the genus Beilschmiedia in an extensive review of Australian Lauraceae by Bernard Hyland in 1989.
