Gmelina leichhardtii
:''"White beech" redirects here. This may also refer to the related ''Gmelina arborea'', especially outside Australia.''
''Gmelina leichhardtii'', commonly known as the white beech is a rainforest tree of eastern Australia. Scattered individuals or small groups of trees naturally occur from the Illawarra district of New South Wales (34½° S) to near Proserpine in tropical Queensland. The white beech or grey teak is a fast-growing tree, growing on volcanic and alluvial soils in areas of moderate to high rainfall. It also grows on poorer sedimentary soils in fire free areas. White beech may occasionally be seen in Australian rainforests, their status is considered "uncommon". Unlike the Australian red cedar, the white beech has not recovered particularly well after logging in the 19th and 20th centuries.
==Taxonomy and naming==
Ferdinand von Mueller described the white beech as ''Vitex leichhardtii'' in 1862, from collections near Myall Creek by Ludwig Leichhardt and Clarence River by Dr Hermann Beckler. George Bentham reassigned it to the genus ''Gmelina'' in his 1870 ''Flora Australiensis''.〔 The genus name honours German botanist Johann Georg Gmelin, while the species name honours Leichhardt, who explored and collected specimens from the country's east and north. White beech was previously classified in the Verbenaceae, but its genus and many others have been transferred into the mint family Lamiaceae.〔 White beech is the standard trade name for the timber, as well as a common name for the species,〔 due to the similarity of the wood to that of European beech.〔 Other common names include grey teak.〔
