Buchanania obovata

Buchanania obovata, the green plum or wild mango, is a small to medium deciduous tree of the cashew family native to northern Australia, typically 4 to 12 m tall, with rough, grey, flaky bark. The leaves are clustered toward the branch tips and are obovate (broadest near the rounded apex), leathery, with prominent parallel side-veins, and are softly hairy when young. Small, fragrant, creamy-white to greenish flowers are borne in branched terminal panicles. The fruit is a small, fleshy, ovoid drupe ripening green to purplish-black, with a thin layer of edible flesh around a single hard stone. It grows in open eucalypt woodland and savanna on sandy and lateritic soils across the monsoonal tropics of northern Australia, where it is an important Aboriginal bush food.
