Description

Elaeocarpus stellaris is a tree that typically grows to a height of Шаблон:Cvt with a dbh of Шаблон:Cvt but sometimes up to Шаблон:Cvt and sometimes with buttress roots at the base of the trunk. The leaves are elliptic to egg-shaped, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide on a petiole Шаблон:Cvt long. The flowers are borne in groups of two to five on a robust rachis up to Шаблон:Cvt long, each flower on a ridged pedicel Шаблон:Cvt long. The sepals are greenish-yellow, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide and velvelty-hairy on the back. The petals are creamy-white, about Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide, with three broad, blunt lobes on the end. There are about fifty stamens. Flowering occurs in December and the fruit is an elliptical drupe about Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide containing a stone with five longitudinal flanges. This species is similar to E. bancroftii apart from the flanged stone.[1][2]
