I've recently taken several photos of an attractive flower that I don't recall seeing before. It's Melicope elleryana, commonly called Pink Euodia around here. The Atlas of Living Australia website gives it the common name Butterfly Tree.  I've seen it growing in local bushland, although this one was a street tree on the edge of Byron Bay, outside my favourite bakery for fresh sourdough bread. The tree was 6-8 metres high. It's in the Rutaceae plant family, and closely related to citrus.
