Cupaniopsis flagelliformis
Also called Weeping flower tamarind
Cupaniopsis flagelliformis, commonly known as brown tuckeroo or weeping flower tamarind, is a tree in the lychee and maple family Sapindaceae, endemic to eastern Australia. It is a small tree that inhabits tropical and sub-tropical rainforest and monsoon forest.
The tree is becoming popular as a cultivated plant, as it is easy to grow and has attractive foliage, flowers and fruit. In the city of Cairns about 20 of these trees have been planted as street trees. The brown tuckeroo is also available from the Cairns Regional Council for approved revegetation projects in Cairns.
The brown tuckeroo inhabits tropical and sub-tropical rainforest and monsoon forest, where it grows as an understorey tree. The altitudinal range is from sea level to about 1,100 m (3,600 ft).
