Tetrameles is a genus with a single species, Tetrameles nudiflora, a very large deciduous tree from southern Asia and northern Australia. It is too big for private gardens and is best suited to parks, nature reserves and large open spaces.
Tetrameles is a genus of flowering plants in the family Tetramelaceae with one species, Tetrameles nudiflora. It grows as a large deciduous tree and is found across southern Asia from India through southeast Asia, Malesia, and into northern Australia.
Many specimens have grown to immense proportions of height and width. Its large size means that Tetrameles nudiflora is suited to nature reserves, parks and other large spaces rather than private gardens.
Despite its timber being soft, it is used in New Guinea to make canoes. T. nudiflora does not require deep soil and is a useful 'coloniser' species for forest regeneration.
Tetrameles nudiflora is a subtropical and tropical forest species, native to India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Myanmar, China, Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, East Timor, Papua New Guinea, and into the Cape York Peninsula in north Queensland (Australia).
