Breynia oblongifolia, commonly known as coffee bush, grows naturally in Australia and New Guinea as shrubs up to {{Convert|3|m|ft|0|abbr=on}} in height. The species produces alternate, ovate leaves {{Convert|20|–|30|mm|in|1|abbr=on}} long. Small, green flowers are produced in spring and summer, and these are followed by orange or pink berries about {{Convert|6|mm|in|abbr=on}} diameter that turn black when fully ripe.

This native shrub may be confused with Senna species which are found in similar habitats, but Senna has opposite leaves (leaflets facing each other in pairs) unlike the alternate leaves of B. oblongifolia, and Senna produces conspicuous yellow flowers followed by leguminous pods in contrast to the inconspicuous flowers and red berries of B. oblongifolia.

Breynia oblongifolia presumably is dependent on leafflower moths (Epicephala spp.) for its pollination, like other species of tree in the genus Breynia.[2][3] Leafflower moths have been reared from fruit of this species in Australia.[4]
