About

Buchanania mangoides, commonly known as plum tree, is a plant in the mango and cashew family Anacardiaceae native to Queensland, Australia. It was first described in 1869.

Where it grows

This species is found on a number of inshore islands north and south of Cairns, from Snapper Island near the mouth of the Daintree River, south to Orpheus Island, about 80 km (50 mi) northwest of Townsville. It also occurs rarely on the mainland adjacent to some of the islands. The altitudinal range is close to sea level.
