Ceodes Gigantocarpa

Ceodes tree, scientifically known as Ceodes gigantocarpa, is a rare and striking member of the Rutaceae family native to the remote rainforests of northeastern Australia. This unique tree is characterized by its massive, buttressed roots and its ability to thrive in nutrient-poor soils, making it an important ecological component of its habitat. Despite its impressive size and resilience, the Ceodes gigantocarpa remains under-studied, with limited data on its reproductive habits and conservation status. Its presence highlights the biodiversity of the region and underscores the need for further research and protection efforts. As a keystone species, it plays a vital role in supporting local flora and fauna.
