The Boppel nut is a
small rainforest tree related to macadamias that grows in
subtropical rainforest in north-east New South Wales and
south-east Queensland. The contrasting textures and colours of
the bark, leaves, flowers and fruit make this a very attractive
garden plant. The plant painted here is growing in the Royal
Botanic Gardens Sydney.
