Hymenosporum flavum Canopy Against Clouds


Common Names: Native Frangipani
Species: Hymenosporum flavum
Family: PITTOSPORACEAE

This is the canopy of Hymenosporum flavum, the Native Frangipani. It belongs to the Pittosporaceae family and is not closely related to the common and popular exotic Frangipani seen growing in at least 50% of Queensland garens. The cream-colored flowers are fragrant and are produced in clusters. Can reach 20m tall in rainforest settings.
