Harpullia hillii
Harpullia hillii, commonly known as tulipwood, blunt-leaved tulip or oblong-leaved tulip, is a species of flowering plant in the family Sapindaceae, and is endemic to eastern Australia. It is a tree with paripinnate leaves, the leaflets elliptic to egg-shaped and papery with the narrower end towards the base, white flowers, and orange capsules containing a seed nearly enclosed in a red aril.
This species is cultivated for its dense foliage and ornamental, but inedible, berries. It prefers a partially shaded situation, protected from frost. Plants may be propagated from fresh seeds pre-soaked in water.
Tulipwood usually occurs in dry rainforest on hillsides between Cairns in Queensland to near Taree in New South Wales.
