Diploglottis obovata
Blunt-leaved tamarind is a small to medium evergreen rainforest tree from coastal central Queensland, closely related to Diploglottis diphyllostegia. It is grown mainly as a shade or specimen tree in warm, humid conditions.
Diploglottis obovata, commonly known as blunt-leaved tamarind, is a plant in the family Sapindaceae endemic to central eastern Queensland, Australia. Until 1987 it was considered to be a form of the very closely related Diploglottis diphyllostegia.
The blunt-leaved tamarind is endemic to coastal and sub-coastal areas of central Queensland, from the area around Proserpine to near Bee Creek, southwest of Sarina. It grows in rainforest, most commonly on creek banks in notophyll vine forest.
