Ricinocarpos speciosus is a slender, erect, open shrub of eastern Australia's wet sclerophyll forest edges, growing up to about 3 m with white flowers. It is rarely grown outside its native range and is best suited to partial shade and moist, well-drained conditions.
Ricinocarpos speciosus is a species of flowering plant in the family Euphorbiaceae and is endemic to eastern Australia. It is a slender, erect, open monoecious or dioeciuos shrub with narrowly elliptic or narrowly oblong leaves and white flowers arranged with two or more male flowers, or with one to four female flowers surrounded by up to four male flowers.
This species grows in slopes or on rocky creek banks and rocky slopes of hillsides, in wet sclerophyll forest often near the edges of rainforest, from Tewantin to Springbrook in south-east Queensland, and in Gibraltar Range National Park to near Port Macquarie in New South Wales.
