Corynocarpus rupestris
Glenugie karaka is a small tree or shrub from eastern Australia, native to rocky basaltic slopes in New South Wales and Queensland, reaching about 12 m. It is rare in the wild and listed as Vulnerable, so it is mainly of interest to collectors and botanic gardens.

It is endemic to the eastern coast of Australia, in the states of New South Wales and Queensland. It reaches 12 metres (40 feet) in height. C. rupestris was first described the Australian botanist Gordon P. Guymer in 1984 in the Flora of Australia. He designated two subspecies, subsp. rupestris and subsp. arborescens. It gets its specific epithet, rupestris, from Latin translating to 'rock-dwelling', which is in reference to its habitat.
