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