Erythroxylum australe is a shrub or small tree endemic to northern Australia. The plant is known by a variety of names including Brigalow erythroxylon shrub and dogwood (unrelated to Cornus).
The plant grows in a wide variety of habitats in subcoastal and coastal regions, ranging from dry rainforest and vine thickets to open savanna woodland.
The leaves contain 0.8% meteloidine, an alkaloid similar to cocaine. All Erythroxylaceae species are banned in NSW.[1]
