About Cryptocarya microneura Meisn.
Cryptocarya microneura Meisn. is a tree that typically reaches 15 m (49 ft) in height, sometimes growing as tall as 25 m (82 ft). Its stems do not develop buttresses. The leaves are lance-shaped to elliptic, 62–115 mm (2.4–4.5 in) long and 20–45 mm (0.79–1.77 in) wide, borne on a petiole 5–11 mm (0.20–0.43 in) long. Leaves are green, with their lower surface more or less glaucous. The cream-coloured flowers are arranged in panicles, which may be either longer or shorter than the leaves. The outer tepals are 1.4–1.7 mm (0.055–0.067 in) long, and the inner tepals are 1.5–1.9 mm (0.059–0.075 in) long. Outer anthers are 0.7–0.8 mm (0.028–0.031 in) long and 0.5–0.6 mm (0.020–0.024 in) wide, while inner anthers are 0.6–0.8 mm (0.024–0.031 in) long and 0.3–0.5 mm (0.012–0.020 in) wide. Flowering occurs from September to November, and the fruit is a spherical to elliptic black drupe 12–14 mm (0.47–0.55 in) long and 10–14 mm (0.39–0.55 in) wide. This Cryptocarya species grows in rainforest and wet forest, from sea level to an altitude of 600 m (2,000 ft), ranging from Gympie in Queensland to Tuross Heads in New South Wales.
