Alloxylon wickhamii is a rainforest tree to 30 m (98 ft) tall in the family Proteaceae. It is endemic to the Wet Tropics of Queensland.
In the wet tropics it is found growing in various well-developed rain forests and apparently is "probably more abundant in upland and mountain rain forests".
This substantial rainforest tree species has large leaves (adult: up to 17 cm (6.7 in), younger: up to 40 cm (16 in)) and bunches of attractive pink-red flowers in October and November.
It is "not as well known as Alloxylon flammeum but deserves an equal place in horticulture".
