Artabotrys carnosipetalus is a woody climbing vine in the custard apple family, native only to Cape York Peninsula in northeast Queensland, Australia. It is a wild rainforest species rarely cultivated, so care is best matched to other warm, humid tropical climbers.
Artabotrys carnosipetalus is a species of plants in the custard apple family Annonaceae found only in Cape York Peninsula, Queensland, Australia. It is a vine with a stem diameter of up to 5 cm (2.0 in), with simple leaves arranged alternately on the twigs. They may reach up to 20 cm (7.9 in) long by 6 cm (2.4 in) wide and have 5–8 pairs of lateral veins either side of the midrib. The flowers are fragrant, solitary and about 10 mm (0.39 in) wide, with 3 sepals and 6 petals in two whorls of 3. The fruit is an apocarp, the individual carpels about 30 mm (1.2 in) long and 20 mm (0.8 in) wide. The species was first described in 2007 by Australian botanist Laurence W. Jessup.
