}} Atractocarpus benthamianus is a species of flowering plant in the Rubiaceae family growing in eastern Australia. It is an understorey species of subtropical and tropical rainforest on fertile soils. The natural range of distribution is from Forster, New South Wales (32° S) to central Queensland. This plant features beautifully scented flowers. DescriptionIt grows as a woody shrub or small tree and reaches 8 m (25 ft) tall. The trunk does not form buttresses but may be crooked, and is covered by smooth grey bark with horizontal markings and long lenticels. The new growth is hairy in plants found north of Coffs Harbour (30° S) . The large glossy dark green leaves are obovate to lanceolate and range from 8–20 cm (3–8 in) long by 2–4 cm wide, and arranged in whorls of 3-4 on the branches. The veins and midrib are prominent on the leaf. The small white fragrant flowers appear from June to November, occur in clusters of two or three and have five lanceolate petals around a tube. The orange oval-shaped fruit ripens in May to September, and bears 14-18 seeds in a pulp.[1][2] The fragrance of the flowers has been likened to that of the common gardenia.[1] Distribution and habitatThe range is from Forster (32° S) on the New South Wales mid-north coast north through to Nambour (26° S) in Queensland. It is found in warm temperate to subtropical rainforests in areas of wetter climate.[1] UsesIts bushy lush foliage, fragrant flowers and colourful fruit give it horticultural potential in gardens in warm temperate and subtropical climates.[2] It is suited to a shady position in gardens, or moderately to brightly lit indoor spaces.[2] TaxonomyAtractocarpus benthamianus was originally described by German naturalist and Victorian State Botanist Ferdinand von Mueller, who named it in honour of the botanist George Bentham, who wrote Flora Australiensis in 1870. It is commonly known as native gardenia.[3]Known for many years as Randia benthamiana,[4] it gained its current binomial name in 1999 with the publishing of a genus revision by botanists Christopher Puttock and Christopher Quinn.[5] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.lind.org.zw/treesociety/2005/feb2005|title=Binna Burra, Lamington National Park|last=Haxen|first=Phil|date=February 2005|work=Journal of the Tree Society of Zimbabwe|publisher= Tree Society of Zimbabwe|accessdate=2009-08-23}} 2. ^{{cite book |title=Australian Native Plants for Indoors |last=Ratcliffe |first=David & Patricia|year=1987 |publisher=Little Hills Press |location=Crows Nest, NSW |isbn=0-949773-49-2 |page=125}} 3. ^1 2 {{cite book|last=Floyd|first=Alex G.|title=Rainforest Trees of Mainland Southeastern Australia|publisher=Terania Rainforest Publishing|location=Lismore, NSW|year=2009|page=331|isbn=978-0-9589436-7-3}} 4. ^1 2 {{cite book | last1=Elliot | first1=Rodger W. | last2=Jones | first2=David L. | last3=Blake | first3=Trevor |title=Encyclopaedia of Australian Plants Suitable for Cultivation: Vol. 8|year=2002|page=174|publisher=Lothian Press |location=Port Melbourne |isbn=0-7344-0378-X}} 5. ^{{cite journal|doi=10.1071/SB98001|author=Puttock CF, Quinn CJ|year=1999|title=Generic concepts in Australian Gardenieae (Rubiaceae): a cladistic approach|journal=Australian Systematic Botany|publisher=CSIRO Publishing|volume=12|issue=2|pages=181–99}} External links
