Wikipedia Abstract

Allocasuarina fraseriana, commonly known as western sheoak, common sheoak or just sheoak, is a tree in the family Casuarinaceae. Endemic to Western Australia, it occurs near the coast in the south west corner of the State, from Jurien (30° S) to Albany (35° S). Western Sheoak was first collected in 1840 by Johann Preiss. The specific name fraseriana honours the botanist Charles Fraser.
