Queensland Maple (Flindersia brayleyana)
Description
Flindersia brayleyana or Queensland maple is a species of plant in the Rutaceae family. It is found in northern Queensland in Australia. It grows up to 15 metres tall with a spreading crown. The tree is generally protected since the main areas in which this tree occurs have received World Heritage listing. Although the tree is known as Queensland maple, the family Rutaceae is commonly known as the Rue or Citrus family, and the Queensland maple is more closely related to orange trees than to maple trees.
