	Castanospermum australe - Growing Native Plants
		The genus Castanospermum belongs to the Fabaceae family and has only one species - Castanospermum australe, commonly referred to as the Black Bean or the Moreton Bay Chestnut.
		It is native to coastal rainforests and beaches in Australia from around Lismore, New South Wales to the Iron Range, Cape York Peninsula on the Queensland coast and 160 km west to the Bunya Mountains.
		Castanospermum australe is a hardy species that is suited for a wide range of conditions throughout Australia, including Melbourne where it may grow to 8 metres.

		australe is a medium-sized to large tree with a height of 20 to 40 m.
		australe is brown to fl with a straight grain.
		australe can be selectively thinned at the first plantation thinning, but wait until seedlings have established underneath.

	Photosynthetic characteristics of Flindersia brayleyana and Castanospermum australe from tropical lowland and upland ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Photosynthetic responses to temperature, light and carbon dioxide partial pressure were studied in two-year-old Flindersia brayleyana and Castanospermum australe growing on coastal lowland and upland rain forest sites in tropical Queensland, Australia.
		The optimum temperature for photosynthesis was 23.7-25.6 degrees C for C. australe and 21.2-24.6 degrees C for F. brayleyana.
		In C. australe, these differences were reflected in significantly greater maximum rates of photosynthesis at 350 micro Pa Pa-1 CO2 at the lowland site than at the upland site (5.2 versus 3.3 micro mol m-2s-1).

		australe, having the potential to be used, for medicinal purposes by various cultures.
		Recent pharmacological studies on Castanospermum australe has identified the alkaloid castanospermine, which is showing promise in combating cancer and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) (Low 1990).
		australe, A. farnesiana and M. quinquenervia caused moderate but significant inhibition with the most inhibited growths from each species being 31% (seed pod), 32% (seed) and 27% (bark), respectively.

	Mycorrhiza Literature Exchange
		The effects of mycorrhizal fungi on the growth of the plant and yield of alkaloid castanospermine were also studied.
		The mycorrhizosphere soil and roots of C. australe collected from various sites in and around Sydney, Australia showed AM symbiotic associations with roots, with arbuscules and vesicles in the root cortices.
		No correlation was found between the alkaloid contents of leaves from mycorrhizal seedlings and from non-mycorrhizal plants which received P. No significant difference in the production of castanospermine was found between P treatments when G. margarita was used as inoculum.

		Once used as bush tucker by the Aborigines of Australia is the Moreton Bay chestnut Castanospermum australe, also called the fl bean tree because it grows large woody pods that turn fl when they fall to the ground.
		Inside are the seeds, which once treated are said to taste a bit like chestnuts.
		In order to make them edible, the Aborigines cracked them and soaked them in water to remove some of the toxins, then pounded them into cakes and roasted them over a fire to eliminate other toxins.

		(castanospermum Australe) I purchased it at a green house as an indoor house plant but I can't find much info on what indoor conditions it would like.

		Renowned for its stunning red and yellow flowering displays, many people are unaware of the hidden qualities of the Black Bean (Castanospermum australe).
		This plant, however, leads a lonely existence as the sole member of the Castanospermum genus; its nearest relative is located in South America.
		Black Bean trees are found throughout rainforests from NSW to the tip of Cape York Peninsula, and have also been recorded in New Caledonia and Vanuatu.
