Gossia bidwillii, known as the python tree is a rainforest myrtle of eastern Australia.

The range of natural distribution is from the Hunter River (32° S) in New South Wales to Coen (13° S) in far northern Queensland.

The species was first described in 1867 by George Bentham as Myrtus bidwillii,[5][6] but in 2003 was transferred to the genus, Gossia, by Neil Snow, Gordon Guymer and Sawvel.

The trunk is crooked and not cylindrical, the bark being smooth and orange/brown in colour with attractive green blotchy markings.

Oil dots prominent when viewed with a lens, the leaf has a faint eucalyptus smell.
