   Buckinghamia is a good example of a species changing its growth habit when removed from its natural habitat. In rainforests it is a tall slender tree but when cultivated in an open position it remains bushy to ground level and rarely reaches 10 m tall. Very popular in cultivation and widely planted for its spectacular flowers. These are variable from tree to tree and from season to season and in good years can completely cover a bush. New growth is flushed with red or pink.
   The species is cultivated in both tropical and temperate areas and is hardy as far south as Melbourne. Popular as a street tree in northern areas. Frost tender when young but damaged growth is quickly replaced in the spring. Responds to water during dry periods and regular applications of fertiliser. Prefers a sunny position and must have a well drained, acid soil.
   Propagate from seed which should only be lightly covered. Seed germinates readily when fresh but loses its viability over 3–5 years. Selected forms can be propagated from cuttings of hardened new growth.

Typus: Portion 62, Parish of Alexandra (Noah Creek), 16° 10' S., 145° 10' E., Queensland, 13.vii.1972, B. P. M. Hyland 6245 (flowering collections). ( Holotypus: QRS. Isotypi: BRI, NSW).

Tree up to 30 m tall with stem up to 50 cm diameter at breast height, without conspicuous buttresses. Bark less than 2.5 cm thick, nondescript; outer and inner blazes pink to reddish, the inner blaze marked with lace-like fibrous stripes. Heartwood dark red. Branchlets terete, ferruginous-pubescent at first, soon becoming glabrous. Leaves simple, on coppice shoots with up to 3-4 lobes, spirally arranged; lamina elliptic-oblong, acuminate, acute to ± obtuse at the apex, attenuate at the base, 9- 20 cm long, 2-6 cm wide, coriaceous, glabrous, green above and below, somewhat paler beneath; margin entire; midrib prominent on both surfaces; nerves 10-20 on either side of the midrib, looping near the margin; petiole 10-25 mm long. Inflorescences terminal or axillary, raceme-like or paniculate with a number of lateral raceme-like branches; 'racemes' including the peduncle up to 20 cm long; all parts of the inflorescence ferruginous-pubescent. Bract subtending flower pairs caducous, about 4 mm long. Pedicels 4-6 mm long. Flowers strongly perfumed, bisexual, zygomorphic in bud, less so at anthesis. Tepals about 10 mm long, densely ferruginous-pubescent on the outer surface, appearing creamy brown, glabrous inside. Stamens 4, sessile near apex of tepals, about 1mm long; anthers opening by longitudinal, confluent slits. Hypogynous gland horseshoe-shaped. Ovary glabrous, stipitate; ovules 4; style recurved, about 7-8 mm long; pollen presenter a broad, oblique disk; stigma small, ± central. Follicles striate, asymmetrical, 10mm 10 mm Stenocarpus davallioides; c — broadly ovate, opening along their upper margins, 20-28 mm long, 15-20 mm wide, containing up to 4 seeds. Seeds flat, ± rhomboidal in outline with a narrow marginal wing, dappled cream and brown in colour. Germination epigeal; cotyledons asymmetrical, ± obovate, obscurely 3-veined.

Representative Specimens Examined (Total number examined 9):
Queensland — Noah Creek, 16° 10' S., 145° 25' E., 7.xi. 1978, B. Gray 1088 (MEL, QRS); National Park Reserve 164, Noah Creek, 16° 08 ' S., 145° 25' E., 24.ix.1985, B. Gray 4164 (MEL, QRS); Portion 62, Parish of Alexandra, Noah Creek, 19.xii.1972, B. Hyland 6614 (QRS); Roaring Meg Creek, 16° 10' S., 145° 10' E., 25.viii.1985, G. Sankowsky 411; ( QRS); Timber Reserve 165, Roaring Meg Creek, 1 km up from Falls, 16° 03' S., 145° 19' E., 11.xi.1984, G. & N. Sankowsky s.n. (QRS).

Distribution: (Fig. 2a):
   North-eastern Queensland, mostly in the vicinity of Noah Creek.

Ecology:
   In rainforest or gallery forest at altitudes up to 350 metres. Flowering June to November; fruiting November to December.

Notes:
   Buckinghamia ferruginiflora differs from B. celsissima F. Muell. in having the outside of the flowers and inflorescence densely ferruginous-pubescent. The style in B. ferruginiflora is only 7-8 mm long while in B. celsissima it is 15-20 mm long. The inflorescence in B. ferruginiflora is rather open while in B. celsissima it is quite dense.
