Homotypic Heterotypic Baloghia inophylla, commonly known as the scrub bloodwood, brush bloodwood or ivory birch, is a plant in the spurge family Euphorbiaceae, native to rainforests of eastern Australia and New Caledonia.

Baloghia inophylla is a medium-sized tree, reaching 25 metres (82 ft) in height and with a trunk diameter of 50 cm (20 in).

[4] This plant was first formally described by the German botanist Johann George Adam Forster, who gave it the name Croton inophyllus.

His description was based on a specimen from New Caledonia, and was published in his book Florulae insularum Australium :prodromus in 1786.[5].

In 1986 all of these alternate names were transferred to the new combination Baloghia inophylla by the English botanist Peter Shaw Green who published his work in the Kew Bulletin.
