Melicytus dentatus, the tree violet, is a shrub that is native to south-east Australia. It grows up to 4 metres high and has branchlets that are often armed with spines and have leaves that are 5 to 50 mm long and sometimes toothed.[1] The flowers appear in spring and summer and are pale yellow, 3 to 5 mm in length, and have petals that are recurved at the tips. These are followed by pale green to purple-black, rounded berries which are 4 to 5 mm in diameter.[2][3]
The berries are consumed by Cunningham's spiny-tailed skinks.[4]
The species occurs in New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania and South Australia.[1]
