Description
Cryptocarya erythroxylon is a tree that typically grows to a height of up to Template:Cvt, its stem usually buttressed. Its leaves are elliptic to lance-shaped, Template:Cvt long and Template:Cvt wide on a petiole Template:Cvt long. The lower surface of the leaves is glaucous. The flowers are cream-coloured and arranged in panicles shorter than the leaves. The perianth tube is about Template:Cvt long and Template:Cvt wide, the outer tepals Template:Cvt long and Template:Cvt wide, the inner tepals Template:Cvt long and Template:Cvt wide. Flowering occurs in November, and the fruit is a pear-shaped black drupe, Template:Cvt long and Template:Cvt wide.[1][2]
Taxonomy
Cryptocarya erythroxylon was first formally described in 1907 by Joseph Maiden in The Forest Flora of New South Wales, from an unpublished description by Maiden and Ernst Betche of a tree discovered by William Dunn in the "Macpherson Range".[3]
Distribution and habitat
Rose maple grows in subtropical rainforest in coastal ranges at altitudes at Template:Cvt between Gympie in Queensland and Barrington Tops in New South Wales.[1][2]
