Diploglottis cunninghamii

Description

The tree is medium to large, with long and broad leaves. It can achieve a height of over 35 metres tall and a trunk diameter of 75 cm. The trunk is cylindrical and flanged at the base, somewhat resembling the trunk of the Coachwood.The branches bear alternate leaves, which are large and pinnate with conspicuously large leaflets. The leaf is generally 40�120 cm long and leaves on mature branches bear about 6�12 leaflets each, but on seedlings or coppice shoots the leaves may be simple or bear only 3�5 leaflets. The leaflets commonly are 10�30 cm long and 4�8 cm wide, broadly oblong to elliptic, bluntly pointed at the tip, not equal at the base, often covered with velvety golden brown hairs. The leaf veins are easy to see on both sides, more so on the underside. The midrib is slightly raised on the top surface.
