Arytera divaricata
Species of tree
Arytera divaricata, known as the gap axe, coogara, coogera or rose tamarind is a forest tree of eastern Australia. An attractive plant with glossy pale and limp new leaves. It grows in fairly dry situations, often in littoral rainforests and monsoon forest.
The southernmost limit of natural distribution is Port Stephens (32° S) in New South Wales, extending north to Cape York at the northernmost tip of Australia. The generic name Arytera is from the Greek for 'cup', referring to the cup-shaped fruit valves. The specific epithet divaricata is from the Latin and refers to the wide-spreading branchlets of the flower panicle.
