''Pouteria cotinifolia'' is an Australian tree in the Sapotaceae family. The common names include Small-leaved Plum, Yellow Lemon and Small-leaved Coondoo. It occurs in the drier rainforests from the Richmond River, New South Wales to the Wenlock River in tropical Queensland.〔Floyd, A.G., ''Rainforest Trees of Mainland South-eastern Australia'', Inkata Press 2008, ISBN 978-0-9589436-7-3 page 408〕 It belongs to the large genus ''Pouteria'' which occurs across the tropics from South America to Indonesia and into eastern Australia. A genetic analysis of material found that ''Pouteria cotinifolia'' was most closely related to ''Pouteria eerwah'', and ''Pouteria australis'' was a sister to the two species - the three forming a distinct group. It grows as a small tree, up to 15 metres (50 ft) tall and a stem diameter of 40 cm (16 in). It may be recognised by the small leaves, 1 to 5 cm long, 0.5 to 3 cm wide, with a rounded tip. Flowering occurs between February and March. The fruit is glossy black, usually containing one shining light brown seed. The seed has a lengthwise scar. Two varieties are recognized * var pubescens * var. cotinifolia ==References== 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「Pouteria cotinifolia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
