Cleistanthus apodus
Cleistanthus apodus, commonly known as the weeping Cleistanthus, is a tree in the family Phyllanthaceae native to New Guinea and northeast Queensland. It was first described in 1873 by the English botanist George Bentham in his seven-volume book Flora Australiensis.
This species occurs in northeast Queensland and New Guinea. In Queensland, the natural range is from the Torres Strait Islands south through Cape York Peninsula to the area near Ingham. There is also a single confirmed collection a little way south of Home Hill, approximately 190 km (120 mi) to the southeast of Ingham.
