Van-royena is a monotypic genus (a genus that contains only one species) in the plant family Sapotaceae. The sole species is Van-royena castanosperma, commonly known as milky plum, yellow plum, saffron boxwood or poison plum, which is endemic to Queensland, Australia. It is an understorey tree of rainforest, first described in 1919.
This species is restricted to the Wet Tropics bioregion of Queensland, and occurs in coastal and sub-coastal areas from about 40 km (25 mi) north of Cooktown to the area around Tully. It inhabits well-developed rainforest at altitudes from sea level to about 1,200 m (3,900 ft).
