Alloxylon wickhamii is a rainforest tree to 30 m (98 ft) tall in the family Proteaceae. It has been found only (endemic) in the Wet Tropics of Queensland.
In the wet tropics it is found growing in various well developed rain forests and apparently is "probably more abundant in upland and mountain rain forests".
This substantial rain forest tree species has large leaves (adult: up to 17 cm (6.7 in), younger: up to 40 cm (16 in)) and bunches of attractive pink-red flowers in Oct–Nov.
It is "not as well known as Alloxylon flammeum but deserves an equal place in horticulture …".
