Drypetes deplanchei subsp. affinis
Also called Greybark, White myrtle, Yellow Tulipwood
A tree native to Lord Howe Island in the Tasman Sea, grown as a shade or ornamental tree in mild climates. It needs warm, frost-free conditions and well-drained soil.
Drypetes deplanchei subsp. affinis, commonly known as greybark or grey bark, is a flowering plant in the Putranjivaceae family. The subspecific epithet affinis ("similar to") alludes to its similarity to Drypetes sepiaria of India and Sri Lanka.
The subspecies is endemic to Australia's subtropical Lord Howe Island in the Tasman Sea. There it is one of the most common and widespread trees in the lowlands.
