Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Speciesbox
Elaeodendron australe, commonly known as red olive-berry, red-fruited olive plum, or blush boxwood,[1] is a species of flowering plant in the family Celastraceae and is endemic to eastern Australia. It is a shrub or small tree with egg-shaped to oblong leaves with a wavy margin, yellowish green male and female flowers on separate plants and fleshy orange-red fruit.
Description
Elaeodendron australe is a shrub or small tree that typically grows to a height of Шаблон:Cvt and has separate male and female plants. The leaves are mostly arranged in opposite pairs and are egg-shaped to elliptic or oblong with a wavy edge, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide on a petiole Шаблон:Cvt long. Elaeodendron australe is dioecious; that is, male and female flowers are borne on separate plants. The flowers are arranged in cymes in leaf axils, on a peduncle up to Шаблон:Cvt long, each flower on a pedicel Шаблон:Cvt long. The four petals are yellowish-green, about Шаблон:Cvt long. Male flowers have four stamens and female flowers have four staminodes. Flowering occurs in spring and summer and the fruit is a fleshy, oblong to oval, orange-red drupe Шаблон:Cvt long. The fruit is ripe from March to July and often persists on the tree for many months.[1][2][3][4]
Taxonomy
Elaeodendron australe was first formally described in 1805 by Étienne Pierre Ventenat in his book Jardin de la Malmaison.[5][6]
In 1825, de Candolle described two varieties in Prodromus Systematis Naturalis Regni Vegetabilis and the names are accepted by the Australian Plant Census:
- Elaeodendron australe Vent. var. australe[7] that has leaves less than four times as long as broad, and mostly more than Шаблон:Cvt wide;[2]
- Elaeodendron australe var. integrifolium (Tratt.) DC. (previously known as Portenschlagia integrifolia)[8][9] that has leaves more than four times as long as broad, and less than Шаблон:Cvt wide.[2]
Distribution and habitat
Red olive-berry grows in eucalypt and rainforest ecotone areas, and in littoral or dry rainforest. It is found in north-eastern and central eastern Queensland and as far south as Tuross Head in New South Wales. An unusual thick-leaved form occurs in Mount Kaputar National Park and nearby western slopes and dry tableland gorges.[1][2][4]
Use in horticulture
Seed germination is very slow, but reliable with around a 25% success rate after twelve months.[4]
