Family:  Elaeocarpaceae
Author:  Sims.

Known Hazards:  None known

Mature Height:  12   Mature Width:  12

Habitat:  Forest gullies and wooded ranges[154], usually near the coast[167].

Cultivation Notes: Prefers a fertile humus-rich well-drained soil[200]. Other reports say that it requires a moist lime-free soil[167, 182]. Succeeds in full sun or partial shade[188]. This species is hardy to at least -7°c in Australian gardens[157], though this cannot be translated directly to British gardens due to our cooler summers and longer, colder and wetter winters. This species is said to succeed outdoors in our mildest gardens[182], especially if given a sheltered position such as a south or southwest facing wall[200].
