Centurion is the world's tallest known flowering plant. It is in a rare group of trees in the world, over 100 metres height, that probably number around 20. (The others are a few coast redwood and the yellow meranti trees in US).
The tree was measured in 2008 by climber with a tapeline at 99.6 metres. Two more recent measurements show that the tree is still growing. In January 2014 the tree was again climbed and the tape drop indicated 99.82m. A tape drop in 2016 showed a height of 99.67m. Centurion was measured by laser in December 2018 and was found to have possibly reached 100.5 meters.
