''Elaeocarpus holopetalus'' is a small rainforest tree of eastern Australia. It grows from near the Snowy River (37° S) to Chaelundi National Park (29° S) in northern New South Wales. It grows at high altitude in gullies. ''E. holopetalus'' is often seen with the southern sassafras, such as at Errinundra National Park, South East Forest National Park, Blue Mountains National Park and Barrington Tops National Park. It is also associated with the Antarctic beech at Barrington Tops National Park and other northerly sites such as New England National Park. Common names include black olive berry, mountain blue-berry and mountain quandong. == Description == It is usually a large bush or a small tree. However rare specimens are most impressive; being 2 metres wide at the base, and 25 metres tall. The trunk is straight with dark grey or brown outer bark. Relatively smooth with some fissures and wrinkles. Leaves are particularly serrated, 3 to 7 cm long. Mid to dark green above, paler below. Leaves show prominent venation, particularly on the underside. Another identifying feature of this and other ''Elaeocarpus'' trees is the senescent red leaves. White flowers appear on paired racemes in November and December. The fruit is a black or (immature) maroon coloured drupe, 9 mm long, maturing from March to October. Like many Australian ''Elaeocarpus'' trees, germination is slow and difficult. However, cuttings prove more successful. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Elaeocarpus holopetalus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
