Elaeocarpus obovatus

Description

Elaeocarpus obovatus is a rainforest tree of eastern Australia. It grows from near Wyong (33° S) in New South Wales to Proserpine, Queensland (20° S) in the tropics. It grows in tropical and sub-tropical lowland rainforests. It is less frequently seen in drier inland rainforests, littoral rainforests and in swampy areas at sea level. Some of the common names include hard quandong, whitewood, grey carabeen, freckled oliveberry and blueberry ash. However, blueberry ash is more usually used for the related Elaeocarpus reticulatus.
