The common name is in reference to the similarity of its timber to the northern hemisphere Oak tree. The common name of many Australian trees refer to similar allusions.
Western Australian She-oak usually occurs as an understorey in the open Jarrah forests of south west Western Australia. It is a very attractive timber which is more common on the Western Australian markets than other members of the Casuarina genus although it is not abundantly available.
