Cotyledons deeply bilobed with an indistinct vein along each lobe. Oil dots small and sparse, usually visible near the margin. At the tenth leaf stage: leaves ovate, glabrous, oil dots sparse, small, visible with a lens, more common about the margin.
Distribution and Ecology

Endemic to Australia, occurs in NEQ and southwards to coastal central New South Wales. Altitudinal range in NEQ from 600-1100 m. Grows as a dominant tree in wet sclerophyll forest but also occurs as an emergent in rain forest where the margins are advancing into eucalypt forest.
