Summary description from Wikipedia:
Jagera pseudorhus
Jagera pseudorhus, commonly named foambark, is a species of rainforest trees, in the northern half of eastern Australia and in New Guinea, constituting part of the flowering plant family Sapindaceae. Named for the saponin foam that forms on the bark after heavy rain.
In Australia, they grow naturally from the Manning River (35° S), New South Wales to the Bloomfield River (15° S) in far north Queensland. In New Guinea they grow naturally widespread. The habitat is tropical and sub-tropical rainforests, monsoon forest and gallery forest on soils of good fertility. Other common names include ferntop and pink tamarind.
Two varieties have formal botanical descriptions:
- Jagera pseudorhus var. integerrima S.T.Reynolds – endemic to the Atherton Tableland, Qld, Australia
