Claoxylon angustifolium, commonly known as narrow leaf claoxylon, is a species of flowering plant in the family Euphorbiaceae found only in Queensland, Australia. It is a shrub which will usually grow to a height of about 4 m (13 ft), with long narrow leaves up to 22 cm (8.7 in) by 2 cm (0.79 in). The flowers are small, about 2 mm (0.08 in) diameter, and the fruit are capsules, green when ripe, and about 6 mm (0.24 in) long by 8 mm (0.31 in) wide. It was described in 1865 by Swiss botanist Johannes Müller Argoviensis. Its natural range is from the Mount Windsor National Park west of Mossman Gorge, south to Eungella National Park west of Mackay.[4][5]
