About

Xanthostemon whitei, commonly known as Atherton penda or red penda, is a species of plants in the clove and eucalyptus family Myrtaceae found only in the Wet Tropics bioregion of Queensland, Australia. It is a large evergreen rainforest tree up to 45 m (148 ft) tall and a trunk diameter of up to 3 m (9.8 ft). Old trees have large buttresses and the trunk is marked by small hollows where bark has been shed. It was first described (informally) by Cyril Tenison White in 1917, and later formally described by German botanist Karl Gugerli.
