Flindersia bennettii
Flindersia bennettii, commonly known as Bennett's ash, is a species of tree in the family Rutaceae and is endemic to north-eastern Australia. It has pinnate leaves with between three and nine leaflets, cream-coloured flowers arranged on the ends of branchlets and woody fruit containing winged seeds.
Bennett's ash mainly grows in streamside, seaside or subtropical rainforest from sea level to an altitude of 300 m (980 ft) and occurs from the Clarence River in New South Wales to Bundaberg in south eastern Queensland.
The timber of Bennett's ash is straight grained and easily worked. It was previously used for timber in the construction of coaches, boat building, cabinet and joinery work. It is an excellent carving wood. The weight is between 800 and 850 kilograms per cubic metre.
