The bottle tree, a native to Queensland, is a succulent, drought-deciduous tree. It is tolerant of a range of various soils, and temperatures. It can grow to 18–20 meters (59–66 ft) in height and its trunk has the unique shape of a bottle. Its swollen trunk is primarily used for water storage. On every tree the leaves are variable from narrow and elliptic to deeply divided. Clusters of yellowy bell shaped flowers are hidden within the foliage, and are followed by woody boat-shaped fruits.
