About

Ormosia ormondii, commonly known as yellow bean, is a tree in the legume family Fabaceae which is endemic to northeastern Queensland, Australia.

Where it grows

The yellow bean is endemic to Queensland and occurs in coastal and sub-coastal areas from Juunju Daarrba Nhirrpan National Park north of Cooktown, to Innisfail. There is also a small outlier population in the McIlwraith Range on Cape York Peninsula about 270 km (170 mi) to the northwest of Cooktown. It grows in well developed rainforest, often beside rivers and streams, at altitudes from sea level to about 500 m (1,600 ft).
