Codonocarpus cotinifolius is a tall shrub or tree in the Gyrostemonaceae family[3] found in all mainland states of Australia,[2] including Victoria,[3] and is also widespread in arid areas.[4] It is suspected of being toxic to stock.[5]

Common names are native poplar (New South Wales,[4] Western Australia),[6] and bell-fruit tree (Victoria)[3]

The species was first described in 1822 as Gyrostemon cotinifolium by René Louiche Desfontaines.[1][7] In 1862, Ferdinand von Mueller transferred it to the genus, Codonocarpus.[1][8]
