Red bell mischocarp is a small rainforest tree from northeast Queensland, growing up to about 15 m, with pinnate leaves and red or yellow fruit. It needs a warm, humid, frost-free climate and is best suited to tropical and subtropical gardens.
Mischocarpus exangulatus, commonly known as red bell mischocarp, is a plant in the family Sapindaceae endemic to Queensland, Australia. It is a small tree up to 15 m (49 ft) tall with pinnate leaves and brightly coloured red or yellow fruit. It was first described in 1864 as Ratonia exangulata by Australian botanist Ferdinand von Mueller, and later transferred to Mischocarpus by German botanist Ludwig Radlkofer.
Mischocarpus exangulatus is found on the east coast of Queensland from the McIlwraith Range on Cape York Peninsula to the Paluma Range a little north of Townsville. It inhabits a range of forest types on various soils, at altitudes from sea level to 1,100 m (3,600 ft).
