Canarium muelleri F.M.Bailey[1][2]

Canarium muelleri, commonly named scrub turpentine or mangobark, is a species of Australian rainforest trees in the plant family Burseraceae.[2] They are endemic to northeastern Queensland, widespread in the rainforests of the Wet Tropics region,[3] and further south to the Conway Range area, near Proserpine, Queensland.[4]
Full grown trees may reach up to 30 m (100 ft) tall.[4] They have pinnate (compound) leaves each composed of 3–9 leaflets, the combined length of the leaflets and the petiole totalling up to 30 cm (12 in).[3][4] In Dec–Jan they grow fleshy, blue or black ripe fruits, 13–20 mm (0.5–0.8 in) long, eaten by rainforest birds including cassowaries and by fruit bats.[3][4] Each fruit contains a hard–shelled seed.
These trees formal description using this species name was published in 1890 by Frederick M. Bailey,[1][2] Queensland colonial botanist from 1881 to 1915.
