Anopterus macleayanus (Queensland Laurel or Macleay Laurel) is a species of shrub or small tree in the family Escalloniaceae, native to Queensland and New South Wales in Australia.[2]
It can grow up to 15 metres high and has leaves which are 10 to 30 cm long and 2 to 4 cm wide, while juvenile leaves may be much larger. The white flowers occur in racemes between October and December (mid spring to early summer) in its native range.[2]
The species was first formally described in 1859 by botanist Ferdinand von Mueller.[1]
