Abstract
Corymbia torelliana has been used extensively as a parent in hybrid breeding programs in subtropical and tropical forestry in Queensland. The species occurs naturally in rainforests and rainforest margins in the wet tropics region of Far North Qld between Shiptons' Flat, near Cooktown and Mt Fox, near Ingham. C. torelliana is a declared weed where it is planted in areas outside of the wet tropics. It is now listed as a noxious weed by many local councils between Grafton and Mackay and there are bans on selling, propagating and distributing the species.
