Baileyoxylon is a monotypic genus of flowering plants in the family Achariaceae. The sole described species is Baileyoxylon lanceolatum, which is restricted to a very small part of the Wet Tropics of Queensland. It was described in the mid 20th century.
==Description== Baileyoxylon lanceolatum is an evergreen tree growing up to about tall with medium grey bark and branchlets that are covered in rusty brown hairs. The dark green leaves are rather thick and measure up to long by wide, with 7–10 pairs of secondary veins either side of the midrib. They are obovate to oblong in shape, acuminate (pointed) at the tip and cuneate (tapering) at the base, and they have a relatively long petiole.
