Alectryon diversifolius , commonly named scrub boonaree or holly bush, is a species of Australian small trees of the plant family Sapindaceae. [3]
Alectryon diversifolius grows as a shrub up to 4 m high, with simple leaves often clustered on short branchlets. [4] Leaf shape is highly variable even on individual plants, ranging from oval to lanceolate to strongly serrated and holly-like. [3] [4]
The species occurs in central and south-eastern Qld and north-eastern N.S.W. Usually growing in Brigalow scrub in dark clay.
It was first described by Ferdinand von Mueller in 1858 as Heterodendrum diversifolius, [1] [5] but was moved to the genus, Alectryon by Sally T. Reynolds in 1987. [1] [2]
