Endiandra palmerstonii, popularly known as Queensland walnut or black walnut, is a rainforest tree of northern Queensland. It was named after the Australian prospector Christie Palmerston.[1]
Queensland walnut has been used as a furniture timber.[1] It is also used to make guitars.[2]
The nut was an important food source for Aboriginal Australians.[3]
It was initially classified Cryptocarya palmerstonii by Frederick Manson Bailey in 1891, and received its present classification from his grandson C. T. White in 1920.[4]
