Phebalium distans

Berryman phebalium,[2] is a species of small tree that is endemic to south-east Queensland.

Phebalium distans is a tree that typically grows to a height of up to 8 m (26 ft), but is shrub-like when young.

It is more or less covered with silvery to rust coloured scales except for the upper surface of the leaves and petals.

[3][4] Phebalium distans was first formally described in 2003 by Paul Irwin Forster in the journal Austrobaileya from specimens he collected in the Coalstoun Lakes National Park in 1990.

The main threats to the species include vegetation clearing, road maintenance, urban development and weed invasion.
