Castanospermum australe -
Black
Bean as it is commonly called was used extensively as a cabinet timber. The
flowers are relished by a variety of birds. The seeds in the large pods
are toxic to humans. A difficult timber to work with as the dust from
sanding etc. is highly irritant to the eyes and nasal passages.
