Large hardwood found in North Queensland rainforests with a pink to red-brown heartwood and whitish sapwood. Often having a band of intermediate wood, which has a similar borer susceptibility to sapwood. Tulip Oak has a coarse, even texture.
Sapwood pale yellow or white, fairly wide and not always clearly demarcated from the reddish-brown or pale red heartwood. Grain mainly straight. The figure is not prominent, and growth rings occasionally tending to distinct. The species is widely distributed through northern Australia from Queensland to Western Australia.
