Beilschmiedia bancroftii is a tree species in the Lauraceae family. It is native to Queensland in Australia.[1] Common names include Yellow Walnut, Yellow Nut and Canary Ash.[2]
The species was first formally described by Queensland colonial botanist Frederick Manson Bailey in 1891, based on plant material collected on the Johnstone River and "other scrubs of tropical Queensland".[3] It was initially named Cryptocarya bancroftii, but later transferred to the genus Beilschmiedia in 1918 by C.T. White.[3]
