Callitris endlicheri

Callitris endlicheri, commonly known as the black cypress pine, is a species of conifer in the family Cupressaceae that is native to eastern Australia.

C. endlicheri is widespread in eastern Australia along the Great Dividing Range and can be found in Australian Capital Territory, New South Wales, Queensland, and Victoria at elevations of 350–1,100 m (1,150–3,610 ft).

[3][4] Callitris endlicheri is an evergreen tree growing 5–15 m (16–49 ft) tall[5] with tough, furrowed bark.

The cones are smooth, almost spherical, measuring 15–20 mm (0.6–0.8 in) in diameter[5] and containing a number of sticky seeds coated in resin.

[4] The Wiradjuri people of New South Wales, who refer to this species as kara, use the trunks of young trees to make spears, the wood and dry needles as kindling, and the resinous sap as a glue and medicine.
