Vernacular names
English: Australinis kanaris

Canarium australianum is a species of trees, native to Australia and Papua New Guinea, of the plant family Burseraceae.[1][2][3][4][5] Common names include mango bark, scrub turpentine, carrot wood, parsnip wood, Melville Island white beech and brown cudgerie.[1][3][4]

Three varieties are recognised in the Australian Plant Census:[1]

C. australianum F.Muell. var. australianum
C. australianum var. glabrum Leenh. — styptic tree, jalgir (Bardi language) — type specimen from Bickerton Island in the Gulf of Carpentaria
C. australianum var. velutinum Hewson —jalgir (Bardi language) — type specimen from Cape Domett, north of Kununurra, Western Australia

In Australia trees of all three varieties grow naturally widespread across northern regions, from sea level up to about 500 m (1,600 ft) altitude. In particular, growing in the Kimberley region of Western Australia, the Arnhem Land region of the Northern Territory, in north-eastern Queensland in the Wet Tropics region, further southwards from there as far as about Airlie Beach and further north in Cape York Peninsula and the Torres Strait Islands.[3][4][5]

Full grown trees may grow up to about 20–30 m (70–100 ft) tall.[3][4][5]
