Cleistanthus dallachyanus (Euphorbiaceae) is a tree that occurs in considerable numbers in some of our coastal ranges, often in large stands creating a forest canopy. It ranges from Townsville to Rockhampton, and is named for John Dallachy 1808-71, who collected extensively for Mueller in North Queensland, and was a member of the original expedition to settle the Cardwell area in 1861.
