Elaeocarpus ruminatus, commonly known as brown quandong, caloon or grey quandong, is a species of flowering plant in the family Elaeocarpaceae and is endemic to Queensland. It is a tree with buttress roots at the base of the trunk, mostly more or less elliptic leaves, cream-coloured flowers with five petals that sometimes have a divided tip, and more or less spherical fruit.

Description

Elaeocarpus ruminatus is a tree that typically grows to a height of Шаблон:Cvt and has buttress roots at the base of the trunk. The leaves are more or less clustered near the ends of the branchlets, mostly more or less elliptic, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide on a petiole Шаблон:Cvt long. The flowers are borne in groups of up to twenty-five on a thin rachis Шаблон:Cvt long, each flower on a pedicel Шаблон:Cvt long. The flowers are cream-coloured and have five narrow egg-shaped sepals Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide. The five petals are egg-shaped, the same length as, or shorter than the sepals, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide, the tip sometimes with one or two narrow triangular lobes. There are sixteen to twenty-two stamens and the ovary is covered with short, felted hairs. Flowering mainly occurs from November to February and the fruit is a more or less spherical drupe about Шаблон:Cvt in diameter.[1][2]

Taxonomy

Elaeocarpus ruminatus was first formally described in 1872 by Ferdinand von Mueller in Fragmenta Phytographiae Australiae from material collected by John Dallachy near Rockingham Bay.[3][4]

Distribution and habitat

Elaeocarpus ruminatus is widespread in rainforest at altitudes between Шаблон:Cvt in north-eastern and central-eastern Queensland.[2]
