Acronychia octandra
Acronychia octandra, commonly known as doughwood, silver birch or soapwood, is a species of rainforest tree that is endemic to eastern coastal areas of Australia. It has mostly trifoliate leaves with elliptic to egg-shaped leaflets, greenish-white flowers arranged in groups in leaf axils and fleshy fruit of four carpels fused at the base.
Germination from fresh seeds can occur rapidly, as early as 11 days. However, some seeds may germinate five months after sowing.
Acronychia octandra grows in subtropical and warm-temperate habitats from sea level to an altitude of 900 m (3,000 ft) from the McPherson Range in south-east Queensland south to near the Clarence River in New South Wales.
