Terminalia arenicola
Terminalia arenicola, commonly known as beach almond or brown damson, is a tree in the family Combretaceae which is endemic to Queensland, Australia.
This species, along with T.catappa, has been widely planted in coastal cities of northeast Queensland, on beaches and in streets and parks, as it provides good shade and beautification of these areas.
The brown damson is found in coastal forests in close proximity to beaches, often co-occurring with T. catappa and T. muelleri. The longitudinal range is stated in Flora of Australia as being from 16°S (i.e. in the vicinity of the Bloomfield River) to 20°S (near Bowen), while Byrnes' paper defines the range as being from 22°S (near Airlie Beach) northwards, with no northern limit declared.
