''Ochrosia moorei'', known as the Southern Ochrosia is a rainforest plant of eastern Australia. Endangered by extinction, it has a ROTAP rating of 2ECi. The habitat is sub tropical rainforest in north eastern New South Wales and south eastern Queensland. It grows in certain Big Scrub remnants such as Booyong Flora Reserve and Andrew Johnston Big Scrub Nature Reserve. The range of distribution is from the Richmond River, New South Wales to Currumbin Creek, just over the state border.〔Floyd, A.G., ''Rainforest Trees of Mainland South-eastern Australia'', Inkata Press 2008, ISBN 978-0-9589436-7-3 page 72〕 The generic name ''Ochrosia'' refers to the yellow colour of wood and flowers of certain members of this genus. It is one of the many species named after the botanist, Charles Moore. == Description == A small tree or shrub, up to 11 metres in height with a stem diameter of 25 cm. The plant often has multiple stems, the trunk can be cylindrical or irregular. Bark is dark brown or black. With many cracks, fissures and pustules of a lighter colour. Small branches are also dark brown or purplish black, more green towards the end. Leaves opposite on the stem, or occasionally in threes. 6 to 18 cm long, 1.8 to 4 cm wide.〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=PlantNET - NSW Flora Online )〕 The leaf shape tapers to the leaf stalk where it joins the branchlet. Over 40 lateral veins join the midrib, joining at nearly 90 degrees to the midrib. At the other end, the lateral veins form into an intramarginal vein, which circles the leaf. Veins clearly seen on both surfaces. Mid rib raised below the leaf, but sunken above the leaf. Leaf stalk 5 to 15 mm long. Broken leaves exude a white milky sap. 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「Ochrosia moorei」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
