Neolitsea australiensis

Neolitsea australiensis, also known as the green bolly gum, is an Australian rainforest tree, in the laurel family.

The basal pair of veins starts around 5 mm from the leaf base.

Scented cream flowers form in stalk-less clusters from March to September.

The fruit is eaten by a variety of birds, including green catbird, regent bowerbird, satin bowerbird, topknot pigeon and white-headed pigeon.

In the field it may be difficult to distinguish between the similar Cryptocarya rigida and Neolitsea dealbata.

The green bollygum is a large tree in the tall rainforest at Murray Scrub , Australia
