Flindersia laevicarpa, commonly known in Australia as rose ash, scented maple or dirran maple,[2] is a species of medium-sized to large tree in the family Rutaceae and is native to Papua New Guinea, West Papua and Queensland.

It has pinnate leaves with four to eight egg-shaped to elliptical leaflets, panicles of cream-coloured, yellowish, red or purple flowers and smooth woody fruit that split into five at maturity, releasing winged seeds.

Flowering occurs from January to July and the fruit is a smooth, woody capsule 29–52 mm (1.1–2.0 in) long that splits into five, releasing seeds that are 29–52 mm (1.1–2.0 in) long.

[2][3][4] Flindersia laevicarpa was first formally described in 1920 by Cyril Tenison White and William Douglas Francis in the Botany Bulletin of the Queensland Department of Agriculture.

[5] In 1969, Thomas Hartley described two varieties and the name of the autonym is accepted by the Australian Plant Census: Variety laevicarpa grows in rainforest at altitudes of between 150 and 830 m (490 and 2,720 ft) and occurs from near the Daintree River to Gadgarra in far north Queensland.
