Three varieties are recognised in the Australian Plant Census:[1]

• C. australianum F.Muell. var. australianum
• C. australianum var. glabrum Leenh. — styptic tree, jalgir (Bardi language) — type specimen from Bickerton Island in the Gulf of Carpentaria
• C. australianum var. velutinum Hewson —jalgir (Bardi language) — type specimen from Cape Domett, north of Kununurra, Western Australia

In Australia trees of all three varieties grow naturally widespread across northern regions, from sea level up to about 500 m (1,600 ft) altitude. In particular, growing in the Kimberley region of Western Australia, the Arnhem Land region of the Northern Territory, in north-eastern Queensland in the Wet Tropics region, further southwards from there as far as about Airlie Beach and further north in Cape York Peninsula and the Torres Strait Islands.[3][4][5]

Full grown trees may grow up to about 20–30 m (70–100 ft) tall.[3][4][5]
