Jox Posted March 16, 2013 Hey guys, I took my kids for a walk through the rainforest today & found a fruit I keen to get an ID for. It was about the size of a passion fruit, bright red & shiny. When I cut it in half I was surprised to find just one big seed inside, similar to an avo seed. It came from a s/e QLD, here are a few photos.

tarenna Posted March 16, 2013 Looks like Endiandra pubens.http://plantnet.rbgsyd.nsw.gov.au/cgi-bin/NSWfl.pl?page=nswfl&lvl=sp&name=Endiandra~pubens Otherwise could possibly be E. virens? http://plantnet.rbgsyd.nsw.gov.au/cgi-bin/NSWfl.pl?page=nswfl&lvl=sp&name=Endiandra~virens Did you note the foliage of the parent? That would help nail it. More precise location in SE Qld could also help. There are also some other threatened and restricted large fruited laurels in SE Qld..

Jox Posted March 16, 2013 Thanks tarenna, it came from a rainforest track at Tamorine Mountain. I could not tell what tree it had come from, I looked around but couldn't spot any fruit on a tree, there were broken & fallen trees all over the place. I originally went for a walk to see what epiphyts I might come across on any fallen trees but I did not expect to see damage like that. Cheers jox Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tarenna Posted March 17, 2013 I still reckon Endiandra pubens. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jox Posted March 17, 2013 Yeah, I think your right tarenna. I had a read about E.pubens last night & it seems right, thanks for your help. Cheers jox Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
