A member of the citrus family, it is rare plant, rated as vulnerable. It occurs from Mullumbimby in north eastern New South Wales to Gladstone, Queensland. The habitat is lowland sub-tropical rainforest. The tree was first described in 1917 by Queensland botanists John Frederick Bailey and Cyril Tenison White.[1] The generic name Bosistoa honours the name of Joseph Bosisto, a manufacturer of essential oils. The specific epithet transversa refers to the transversal ribbed carpels of the fruit.[2] Bosistoa transversa is a small to medium tree, with a cylindrical and sometimes crooked trunk, which can reach {{convert|15|m|ft|abbr=on}} in height. The trunk reaches 20 cm (8 cm) across and has mostly smooth dark brown bark with irregular horizontal ridges. The leaves are arranged oppositely on the thin brown or grey-brown branches and are made up of one to three roughly oval shaped glossy leaflets, which measure {{convert|1|–|6|cm|in|round=0.5|abbr=on}} wide and {{convert|4|to|12.5|cm|in|abbr=on}} long with a pointed apex. The leaves have prominent oil glands. Appearing from January to March, the tiny white flowers are arranged in white panicles which are terminal or near terminal and measure {{convert|7|–|16|cm|in|round=0.5|abbr=on}} in length, The flowers themselves are around 3.5 mm long and have five sepals measuring 1 mm long, and five petals ovals around 3 mm long. Flowering is followed by pairs of small woody fruit which ripen over May to July.[2]The Yellow Satinheart is found in subtropical rainforest in lowland areas, below an altitude of {{convert|300|m|ft|abbr=on}}.[3] The Yellow Satinheart is classified as threatened in New South Wales; threatening processes include clearing of rainforests, invasion of remaining rainforest areas by weeds, and grazing by livestock.[3] References{{Portal|Trees}}1. ^{{APNI | name = Bosistoa transversa J.F.Bailey & C.T.White | id = 7473}} 2. ^1 Floyd, A.G., Rainforest Trees of Mainland South-eastern Australia, Inkata Press 2008, {{ISBN|978-0-9589436-7-3}} page 353 3. ^1 {{cite web|title= Yellow Satinheart - profile|url=http://www.threatenedspecies.environment.nsw.gov.au/tsprofile/profile.aspx?id=10103|work=Threatened species, populations and ecological communities of NSW|date=1 September 2005 |publisher=NSW Department of Environment and Conservation (DEC), New South Wales Government|accessdate=11 December 2010}} External links
