Template:Short description Template:Use dmy dates Template:Speciesbox
Argyrodendron actinophyllum, commonly known as black booyong, black jack, stave wood, Mackay tulip oak, crowsfoot elm, booyong, tulip oak or blush tulip oak,[1] is a species of flowering plant in the family Malvaceae and is endemic to eastern Australia. It is a large tree with prominent buttress roots, palmately compound leaves with 5 to 9 lance-shaped leaflets, flower arranged in panicles, and winged samaras.
Description
Argyrodendron actinophyllum is a tree that typically grows to a height of Template:Cvt with prominent buttress roots and dark grey or very dark grey bark. The leaves are palmately compound with 5 to 9 lance-shaped leaflets, sometimes the narrower end towards the base, Template:Cvt long and Template:Cvt wide on a petiole Template:Cvt long. The flowers are arranged in many-flowered panicles that are longer than the leaves. The fruit is an oval samara Template:Cvt in diameter, with a wing Template:Cvt long and Template:Cvt wide.[2]
Taxonomy
This species was first formally described in 1875 by Ferdinand von Mueller who gave it the name Tarrietia argyrodendron var. actinophylla in his Fragmenta Phytographiae Australiae.[3] In 1935, Herbert Leeson Edlin raised the variety to species status as Argyrodendron actinophyllum in the journal, New Phytologist.[4][5] The specific epithet actinophyllum means 'spoke of a wheel-leaved'.[6]
In 1969, Lindsay Stuart Smith described the subspecies Argyrodendron actinophyllum subsp. diversifolium, and the name, and that of the autonym are accepted by the Australian Plant Census, but not accepted by the National Herbarium of New South Wales:
- Argyrodendron actinophyllum subsp. actinophyllum[7]
- Argyrodendron actinophyllum subsp. diversifolium[8]
Distribution and habitat
Black booyong grows in warm rainforest, mostly above Template:Cvt, north from Gloucester in New South Wales[2] and in north-east and central-eastern Queensland.[9]
