TRISTANIOPSIS WHITEANA

This medium-sized tree with rather beautiful peeling bark on its trunk is from the Myrtaceae Family. Its synonyms include Tristania whiteana, Tristania motleyi and Tristania sumatrana.

Known by its common name River Tristania, the new leaf flushes are also rather attractive. An interesting link on the SouthWest CDC is attached below:
