About

Diploglottis bracteata, commonly known as Boonjee tamarind, is a plant in the lychee family Sapindaceae found only in the Wet Tropics bioregion of Queensland, Australia. It is a tree growing to about 25 m (82 ft) in height with a fluted trunk and distinctively large bracts of flowers. It was first described by the Dutch botanist Pieter Willem Leenhouts in 1978, and the common name refers to the area on the Atherton Tableland where the species occurs.
