Argyrodendron trifoliolatum F.Muell. is an Australian rainforest tree native to eastern Queensland and northeastern New South Wales, Australia. In this region, it is commonly called white booyong, and the village of Booyong, New South Wales takes its name from this tree. This species can grow up to 45 metres tall. It produces large numbers of creamy, bell-shaped flowers between July and September. Its most distinctive characteristic is the large, characteristic buttresses that form on its trunks. Its natural habitats include subtropical rainforest, dry rainforest, and scrubby watercourses. It is a shade-tolerant climax species, and one of the dominant main tree species found in warm subtropical rainforests.
