Stenocarpus angustifolius is a species of flowering plant in the family Proteaceae and is endemic to Queensland. It is a shrub or small tree with narrow lance-shaped adult leaves, groups of creamy white flowers and cylindrical follicles.
Stenocarpus angustifolius is a shrub or small tree that typically grows to a height of 4–5 m (13–16 ft) and has minutely hairy young branchlets that soon become glabrous. The adult leaves are narrow lance-shaped, 50–180 mm (2.0–7.1 in) long and up to 12 mm (0.47 in) wide on a petiole up to 10 mm (0.39 in) long. Juvenile leaves are deeply divided with narrow linear lobes. The flower groups are arranged in leaf axils with 12 to 20 flowers on a peduncle 20–40 mm (0.79–1.57 in) long, the individual flowers creamy-white and up to 10 mm (0.39 in) long, each on a pedicel up to 12 mm (0.47 in) long. Flowering occurs from August to December and the fruit is a cylindrical follicle up to 100 mm (3.9 in) long, containing winged seeds 15–20 mm (0.59–0.79 in) long.[2]
