Bosistoa pentacocca, commonly known as ferny-leaf bosistoa,[1] native almond or union nut,[2] is a species of tree that is endemic to eastern Australia. It has pinnate leaves arranged in opposite pairs with between three and thirteen leaflets and panicles of small flowers arranged in leaf axils or on the ends of branches. It grows along streams in rainforest.

Description

Bosistoa pentacocca is a tree that typically grows to a height of about Шаблон:Cvt. It has grey, blotchy and scaly bark and pinkish-red new growth. The leaves are pinnate, Шаблон:Cvt long on a petiole Шаблон:Cvt long and there are between three and thirteen elliptical to lance-shaped leaflets. The leaflets are Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide, the side leaflets sessile or with a petiolule up to Шаблон:Cvt long and the end leaflet sessile or on a petiolule up to Шаблон:Cvt long. The flowers are Шаблон:Cvt long and arranged in panicles in leaf axils or on the ends of branchlets. The sepals are about Шаблон:Cvt long and joined for most of their length, the petals Шаблон:Cvt long. Flowering occurs from January to February and the fruit is a follice Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide containing a single seed Шаблон:Cvt long.[1][2]

Taxonomy

Ferny-leaf bosistoa was first formally described in1862 by Ferdinand von Mueller who gave it the name Euodia pentacocca and published the description in Fragmenta phytographiae Australiae.[3][4]

In 1873, Henri Ernest Baillon changed the name to Bosistoa pentacocca in his book Histoire des Plantes.[5][6]

In 2013, Paul Irwin Forster describe two subspecies and the names have been accepted by the Australian Plant Census:

  • Bosistoa pentacocca subsp. connaricarpa Domin P.I.Forst.[7] that has leaves with between three and five, rarely seven leaflets;[8]
  • Bosistoa pentacocca (F.Muell.) Baill. subsp. pentacocca[9] that has leaves with between seven and thirteen leaflets.[8]

Distribution and habitat

Bosistoa pentacocca grows along streams in rainforest, often dry rainforest and occurs between Bowen in eastern-central Queensland and the Clarence River in north-eastern New South Wales. Subspecies connaricarpa has a more limited distribution between Dryander and Gympie.[2][8]
