An evergreen, rainforest tree with a slender, straight trunk and a sparsely branching, columnar habit.
It has glossy, dark green, oval leaves that tend to cluster towards the branch ends - creating an open feel.
It is most distinguished by its lovely, creamy, open-faced, tubular, scented flowers that develop into deeper shades of golden/yellow over days.
These develop to flat seed pods with small, winged seeds.
Frost tender when young but good in coastal conditions.
