Unknown seed pods
I need some help to identify these seed pods ? I was visiting a friends property over easter near Boonah ,I saw these seed pods under a tree and was wondering what sort of tree they came from ( the owner doesn't know ) but he was told it's quite valuable , I have no idea
They are about 80 mm long and as hard as , Cheers ~ John
G'day all !Enjoy your stay !!!

Thanks for your answer, I had a browse on some tree ID sites ,as close as I can find is a Cuderie (Flinderia schottiana ) sometimes called Silver Ash or Bumpy ash

Definitely genus Flindersia, John. Cannot be anything else. Species depends on leaves, bark etc. Really bad news for bare feet (ouch!). But beautiful timbers.
