Planchonella myrsinoides
Planchonella myrsinoides is an Australian tree in the family Sapotaceae. The common names include yellow plumwood, axe-handle wood and blunt-leaved coondoo. It occurs in seaside rainforests and drier rainforests from the Forster, New South Wales to the Lakeland Downs in tropical Queensland.
It is a small tree up to 12 metres tall with a stem diameter of 25 cm (9.8 in). The leaves are 2 to 10 cm (0.79 to 3.94 in) long and 1 to 4 cm (0.39 to 1.57 in) wide. Flowering occurs between May and November, sometimes as early as February. The fruit is a thin fleshed, purple/black berry, 1.5 to 3 cm (0.59 to 1.18 in) long, containing one to three seeds.
The specific epithet myrsinoides refers to a similarity of the leaves of certain plants in the genus Myrsine.
