Callitris endlicheri
Also called Black Pine, Mountain Pine, Murray Pine, Red Cypress, Red Cypress-pine, Red Pine, Scrub Pine
Callitris endlicheri, the black cypress pine, is a species of conifer in the cypress family, Cupressaceae, that is native to eastern Australia.
C. endlicheri is widespread in eastern Australia along the Great Dividing Range and can be found in Australian Capital Territory, New South Wales, Queensland, and Victoria at elevations of 350–1,100 m (1,150–3,610 ft). It commonly grows on rocky hills and ridges and can be found in dry sclerophyll woodlands and shrublands.
The Wiradjuri people of New South Wales, who refer to this species as kara, use the trunks of young trees to make spears, the wood and dry needles as kindling, and the resinous sap as a glue and medicine. It is sometimes logged for commercial purposes.
