Cinnamomum laubatii, commonly known as pepperwood, is a species of plant in the family Lauraceae endemic to Queensland, Australia. It is a tree to 35 m (115 ft) tall and a crown width of about 6 m (20 ft), which inhabits rainforest from Cooktown in the north to about Mackay in the south.[4] Most occurrences are in the highlands west of Port Douglas, Cairns and Mackay, with scattered occurrences between those points.[5]
The tree provides a general purpose hardwood marketed as 'pepperwood' and used for interior panelling, cupboards and furniture, as well as some marine applications.[4][6]
