Ivory Curl Tree (Buckinghamia celsissima, pictured) is an attractive ornamental rainforest tree that yields a general purpose oak-grained timber. This urban street tree can have a useful environmental role with the flowers being a favoured nectar-resource for insects and birds. It is a food plant for the larvae of the Bright Cornelian (Deudorix diovis), a widespread butterfly found along the eastern coastline (New South Wales–northern Queensland), as well as the Indigo Flash (Rapala varuna) of the Queensland coast.
