Acronychia baeuerlenii, commonly known as Byron Bay acronychia,[1] is a species of rainforest shrub or small tree endemic to eastern Australia. It has simple, glabrous leaves, small groups of flowers and fleshy oval fruit.

Description

Acronychia baeuerlenii is a shrub or tree that typically grows to a height of Шаблон:Cvt. Its trunk is smooth, grey about Шаблон:Cvt in diameter and has more or less cylindrical young branchlets. The leaves are arranged in opposite pairs, simple, glossy green, glabrous and elliptical, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide on a petiole Шаблон:Cvt long. The flowers are white or cream-coloured and arranged in leaf axils in small cymes Шаблон:Cvt long, each flower on a glabrous pedicel Шаблон:Cvt long. The four sepals are Шаблон:Cvt wide and the four petals Шаблон:Cvt long and there are eight stamens. Flowering occurs between October and February and the fruit is a fleshy, creamy to light green, oval, four-celled drupe Шаблон:Cvt in diameter with eight ribs. The fruit matures between March and May and each cell contain one or two sticky black seeds Шаблон:Cvt long.[1][2][3]

Taxonomy

Acronychia baeuerlenii was first formally described in 1974 by Thomas Gordon Hartley in the Journal of the Arnold Arboretum from specimens collected near Burringba in 1898.[4][5]

Distribution and habitat

Byron Bay acronychia is found between the Richmond River, New South Wales in New South Wales to Lamington National Park just over the border in Queensland. It is an understorey plant in warm temperate rainforest, occasionally in sub tropical rainforest on richer alluvial or basaltic soils, up to Шаблон:Cvt above sea level.[1][2]

Conservation status

Byron Bay acronychia is classified as of "least concern" under the Queensland Government Nature Conservation Act 1992.[6]

Essential oils

The leaves of this species contain a number of essential oils.[7]
