Ormosia ormondii, commonly known as yellow bean, is a tree in the legume family Fabaceae which is endemic to northeastern Queensland, Australia.

The yellow bean is medium-sized tree growing up to 25 m (82 ft) high, the trunk is brownish or khaki in colour and may be buttressed.

[4][5][6] This species was first described in 1882 by the Victorian Government botanist Ferdinand von Mueller as Podopetalum ormondii, and published in his work Systematic Census of Australian Plants.

In 1943 the American botanist Elmer Drew Merrill published a paper in the journal Sargentia, in which he moved the species to the genus Ormosia.

[2][3][7] The yellow bean is endemic to Queensland and occurs in coastal and sub-coastal areas from Juunju Daarrba Nhirrpan National Park north of Cooktown, to Innisfail.
