| Description |
Vernicia montana ;
Family: Euphorbiaceae
Native to southern China, Burma, and Vietnam.
It is very interesting tree with a long history of people using Tung oil, the same as Candlenut tree Aleurites.
It actually has a synonym Aleurites montanus
I've never seen this tree before and I was thrilled to find it as a street tree in Tamborine (QLD, Australia).
It is monoecious (??????????) with individual flowers either male or female, but produced together in the inflorescences.
