Gmelina fasciculiflora
Also called White beech, Northern white beech
Gmelina fasciculiflora, known as the northern white beech, is a species of trees endemic to the Queensland tropical rain forests, Australia, of the mint (Lamiaceae) plant family. It is one of four recognised species of the genus Gmelina found in Australia.
Gmelina fasciculiflora has grown and flowered well in cultivation in Brisbane, where it has been planted in public parks. The timber is fairly soft for a hardwood and acidic. It is not resistant to termites. It is highly regarded for carving in Queensland.
