Bolwarra,
Eupomatia
spp.
-
This genus
has only 3 species. Eupomatia laurina (pictured) is the taller with the
slightly bigger rounder fruit, while Eupomatia barbata is a smaller
shrub.
-
They may have
a slight zigzag pattern to the branches.
-
The primitive
flowers appear only for a day, and are followed by very distinctive
cup-shaped, flat-topped greenish fruits that look a little like gum nuts.
-
There are a
couple of examples of the first species along the Kulki boardwalk at Cape
Tribulation that may be noticed when fruiting.
