Diploglottis harpullioides
Babinda tamarind is a small rainforest shrub or tree from northeast Queensland, Australia, growing up to about 5 m tall in the understorey of wet tropical forest. It needs shade, humidity and consistent moisture, so it is best suited to warm, humid climates or sheltered gardens.
