Canarium australianum
Also called Island White Beech, Australinis Kanaris
Canarium australianum, commonly known as scrub turpentine, is a species of tree in the family Burseraceae native to Australia and Papua New Guinea. Other common names include mango bark, carrot wood, parsnip wood, Melville Island white beech and brown cudgerie.
The scrub turpentine is widely distributed across northern Australia from the Kimberley region of Western Australia, through the Northern Territory to eastern Queensland, where it is found from the Torres Strait Islands southwards almost as far as Mackay. It also occurs in New Guinea. It inhabits rainforest, monsoon forest and open forests at altitudes from near sea level to about 700 m (2,300 ft).
