Medicosma cunninghamii
Pinkheart (Medicosma cunninghamii) is a shrub or small rainforest tree of eastern Australia, usually 1 to 2 m tall, valued as a dense screening plant. It needs shade, shelter and humid, well-drained conditions, as it comes from rainforest.
Medicosma cunninghamii, commonly known as pinkheart or bonewood, is a species of shrub or small tree in the family Rutaceae and is endemic to eastern Australia. It has simple, narrow oblong to lance-shaped leaves and small white or cream-coloured flowers arranged in small groups.
Pinkheart is often grown in cultivation. It has a dense form and makes a good screening plant.
Medicosma cunninghamii grows in rainforest from sea level to an altitude of 500 m (1,600 ft) and is found from Gladstone in central-eastern Queensland to the Richmond River in New South Wales.
