Cupaniopsis wadsworthii
Duckfoot (Cupaniopsis wadsworthii) is a slender shrub or small tree from rocky hills and seasonally dry rainforests in central eastern Queensland, grown mainly for its shape and for the orange-arilled seeds that attract birds. It is a warm-climate plant best suited to frost-free gardens.
Cupaniopsis wadsworthii, sometimes commonly named duckfoot, or dwarf tuckeroo, is a species of flowering plant in the soapberry family and is endemic to Queensland. It is a slender shrub or small tree with paripinnate leaves with two to eight broadly wedge-shaped or broadly lobed leaflets, and separate male and female flowers arranged in raceme-like thyrses, the fruit a capsule with a seed with an orange aril.
Cupaniopsis wadsworthii usually grows on hills in rocky soil in rainforests and seasonally dry rainforests at altitudes up to 740 m (2,430 ft), from Townsville to Maryborough, including on Magnetic Island, in central eastern Queensland.
