Stockwellia

Wikipedia Abstract

Stockwellia is a genus of a sole described species of large Australian trees, constituting part of the plant family Myrtaceae and included in the eucalypts group. The species Stockwellia quadrifida sometimes has the common names of Stockwellia or Vic Stockwell's puzzle. Botanists' descriptions record that these large trees up to 40 m (130 ft) tall, grow naturally isolated only (endemic) in one region of the luxuriant Wet Tropics rainforests of north-eastern Queensland, and within an altitude range of about 500–750 m (1,600–2,500 ft). The seeds are eaten by sulphur-crested cockatoos.
