Cadellia is a monotypic genus of trees in the botanical family Surianaceae. The sole species, Cadellia pentastylis, commonly known as ooline, is a medium to large tree with bright green leaves and rough tile-pattern bark. It has rain forest origins dating from the Pleistocene Era when much of Australia was wetter than it is today. It grows on moderately fertile soils, preferably those suited for agriculture or pasture development. Due to extensive forest clearing, it is now considered a vulnerable plant in Australia.
Cadellia pentastylis is listed as vulnerable under the Australian Environment and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999. Small and typically fragmented stands of ooline may be found in scattered localities on the lower western slopes of Australia's great dividing range between latitudes of 24°S to 30°S. Populations are known from the North Western Slopes of New South Wales, such as around Mount Black Jack near Gunnedah, Tenterfield, Terry Hie Hie, and Moree. Ooline can also be found in Sundown National Park and Tregole National Park in Queensland.
