Alangium polyosmoides

A small to occasionally mid-sized tree up to 20 m (66 ft) in height with a trunk diameter of 90 cm (35 in). The trunk in larger trees may be buttressed. The bark is marked by lenticels, scales and corky bumps and irregularities, mostly greyish brown in colour. Small branches are thin and grey, though hairy and green towards the tips. The twig between the leaves is not particularly hairy. Mature leaves are from 4 to 15 cm (1.4–6 in) long and 2 to 4 cm (0.8-1.6 in) wide, though juveniles may be larger. They alternate on the stem with a fairly long point. The leaves are oblong-ovate or oblong-elliptical in shape and unequal at the leaf base. A midrib, lateral veins and net veins are evident from below the leaf, as are numerous yellow bumps along the lateral veins and midrib. This makes identification of this plant very clear, when in the rainforest. The leaf stem is 6 to 13 mm long.

Flowers and fruit. Pale yellow flowers form on cymes from the leaf axils, with three to five flowers per cyme. The flowers have a honeysuckle scent. The cyme is less than 2 cm long, appearing from October to April. There are 4 to 6 petals per flower, 2 mm wide and around 5 mm long. The fruit is a dark drupe, black or almost black, ribbed and oval, and 10 to 20 mm long. …
