About

Elaeocarpus sedentarius, commonly known as Minyon quandong, is a species of flowering plant in the family Elaeocarpaceae and is endemic to a restricted area of New South Wales, Australia. It is a medium-sized to large tree with elliptic to egg-shaped leaves, racemes of whitish flowers and more or less spherical blue fruit.

Where it grows

Minyon quandong grows in warm-temperate rainforest in a small area on the south of the Mount Warning caldera in northern New South Wales. A single wild tree was also discovered in the north of the caldera, approximately 35 km north of the rest of the populations. This tree occurs in brush box ecotone areas and warm temperate rainforests.
