picture info	Casuarina Glauca ''Casuarina glauca'', commonly known as the swamp she-oak, swamp oak, grey oak, or river oak, is a species of ''Casuarina'' native to the east coast of Australia. It is found from central Queensland south to southern New South Wales. It has become naturalised in the Everglades in Florida where it is considered a weed. Taxonomy Franz Sieber described the swamp oak as ''Casuarina glauca'' in 1826. The species name is derived from the Latin ''glauca'' "glaucous". The Kabi name for the plant, ''bilai'', was used for the town and locality of Bli Bli, Queensland. The gadigal name is ''guman''. It is closely related to ''C. cunninghamiana''. Hybrids with ''C. cunninghamiana'' subsp. ''cunninghamiana'' have been recorded where the two species co-occur, such as at Lower Portland and Wisemans Ferry.
