Fruit

Acronychia suberosa, commonly known as corky acronychia,[1] is a species of small to medium-sized rainforest tree that is endemic to eastern Australia. It has mostly trifoliate leaves with elliptic to egg-shaped leaflets with the narrower end towards the base, small groups of cream-coloured flowers and elliptical to spherical, creamy yellow to whitish fruit.

Description

Acronychia suberosa is a tree that typically grows to a height of Шаблон:Cvt with a stem diameter of Шаблон:Cvt and a thick, dark crown. The trunk is mostly cylindrical, but occasionally with flanges at the base and the bark is usually smooth, brown or red-brown. The leaves are trifoliate, mostly arranged in opposite pairs, the petiole Шаблон:Cvt long, the leaflets elliptical to egg-shaped with the narrower end towards the base, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide on a petiolule up to Шаблон:Cvt long. The flowers are arranged in cymes Шаблон:Cvt long, the individual flowers on a pedicel Шаблон:Cvt long. The four sepals are Шаблон:Cvt wide, the four petals cream-coloured and Шаблон:Cvt long and the eight stamens alternate in length. Flowering mainly occurs in February and the fruit is a fleshy, creamy yellow to whitish, elliptical to more or less spherical drupe Шаблон:Cvt long. The fruit matures from March to June.[1][2][3]

Taxonomy

Acronychia suberosa was first formally described in 1932 by Cyril Tenison White in Proceedings of the Royal Society of Queensland from specimens collected in Lamington National Park in 1929.[4][5] The specific epithet suberosa means corky, referring to the bark on older trees.

Distribution and habitat

Corky acronychia grows from the Richmond River, New South Wales to just over the border at the McPherson Range in south eastern Queensland at altitudes of Шаблон:Cvt. The habitat is sub-tropical or warm temperate rainforest on basalt soils in high rainfall areas.[1][2][3]

Uses

Food

The fruit is edible but acidic.[6]

Horticulture

Removal of the flesh from the seed is advised for regeneration. Around 30% of the seeds may germinate in five months.[2]
