Confirmation of this identification, for me, comes with this section of the article linked above:
– quotation: "
Both Australian species have obscurely ciliate calyx lobes, entire in all other species.
_P. papuana_ Kunth. is probably the most closely related species, clearly distinguished by the buttressed trunks,
much larger leaves (to 19 × 8 cm) with prominent midribs below;
green (v. white) petals, and long staminal tube 10–15mm (v. 4–11 mm) long.
" .

Furthermore not a species of the genus _Barringtonia_ .

Note:
• We can see the cilia along the margins of the calyx lobes in looking closely at this sighting's photographs in their full resolution .
• The outer sides of the petals of all three species may have green or green-ish colour;
yet the Au _Planchonia careya_ and _Planchonia rupestris_ have white insides of the petals. (In these three photographs we don't see the insides of the petals).

Reading this:
Barrett, Russell L. (2006 April 28)
A review of _Planchonia_ (Lecythidaceae) in Australia.
Australian Systematic Botany 19 (2) : 147–153 .
→ https://doi.org/10.1071/SB05008

Including considering different genera in this botanical family Lecythidaceae and three spp. in this genus _Planchonia_,
including the New Guinea known species _Planchonia papuana_ which this article's introduction says has green petals like these photographs,
rather than white petals in _Planchonia careya_ and _Planchonia rupestris_ .
