Acronychia laevis, commonly known as hard aspen, glossy acronychia or northern white lilly pilly,[1] is a species of shrub or small tree in the citrus family, and is endemic to eastern Australia. It has simple, elliptical to egg-shaped leaves, groups of creamy white flowers and fleshy, mitre-shaped to spherical fruit.
Description
Acronychia laevis is a shrub or small tree that typically grows to a height of Шаблон:Cvt. The trunk has fairly smooth, fawn bark with some vertical lines and wrinkles. The leaves are arranged in opposite pairs and are simple, elliptic to egg-shaped with the narrower end towards the base, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide on a petiole Шаблон:Cvt long. The leaves are shiny green on both sides with a blunt or rounded tip and have oil dots that may be seen using a lens and a bright light. The flowers are mainly arranged in leaf axils in cymes Шаблон:Cvt long, each flower on a pedicel Шаблон:Cvt long. The four sepals are Шаблон:Cvt wide, the four petals creamy white and Шаблон:Cvt long and the eight stamens alternate in length. Flowering occurs from February to June and the fruit is a fleshy mitre-shaped to more or less spherical, dark pink drupe Шаблон:Cvt long containing reddish-brown seeds about Шаблон:Cvt long.[1][2][3][4][5]
Taxonomy
Acronychia laevis was first described in 1775 by German naturalists Johann Reinhold Forster and Georg Forster who published the description in their book Characteres Generum Plantarum.[6][7] The specific epithet laevis is the Latin adjective "smooth", and refers to the new shoots and leaves.[2]
Distribution and habitat
Hard aspen grows in dry rainforest and subtropical rainforest from sea level to an altitude of Шаблон:Cvt. It is found from the upper Clarence River, New South Wales in New South Wales to Cape York Peninsula in Queensland, on New Caledonia and on Lord Howe Island.[1][4][8]
Ecology
The fruit is eaten by the green catbird.[2]
Use in horticulture
Acronychia laevis can be grown in a sunny or part-shaded position in a garden. Its attractive fruit and flowers have horticultural appeal. It can be propagated from seed,[8] although cuttings may also be attempted. The fruit is edible to humans, although described as too pungent to be palatable,[9] and have even been likened to turpentine.[10]
