Pittosporum revolutum | |
Pittosporum revolutum commonly known as rough-fruited pittosporum, yellow pittosporum, Brisbane laurel or wild yellow jasmine, is a flowering plant in the family Pittosporaceae and grows in New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland. It is a small shrub with fragrant yellow flowers.
Pittosporum revolutum is a spreading shrub or small tree to about 1–4 m (3 ft 3 in – 13 ft 1 in) high, branchlets and leaves covered with rusty-coloured short matted hairs. The older leaves are smooth with occasional hairs on the lower surface, dull, dark green, alternately arranged or clustered, oval, elliptic or egg-shaped, 4–15 cm (1.6–5.9 in) long, 3–6 cm (1.2–2.4 in) wide, margins wavy or smooth. The fragrant, bisexual flowers, vary in number are borne at the end of branches in clusters, pedicels 4–15 mm (0.16–0.59 in) long, sepals lance-shaped about 5 mm (0.20 in) long, petals oblong-shaped, down-curved, 10–20 mm (0.39–0.79 in) long and yellow. Flowering occurs in September and October and the fruit is a yellow-orange coloured capsule, ellipsoid or globe-shaped, 12–20 mm (0.47–0.79 in) long, warty and wrinkled. [2] [3]
Pittosporum revolutum was first formally described in 1811 by W.T.Aiton and the description was published in Hortus Kewensis . [4] [5] The specific epithet (revolutum) means "curling down" referring to the petals. [6]
Rough-fruited pittosporum grows in sheltered situations on ranges and coastal areas of New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland. [6]
Pittosporum is a genus of about 250 species of flowering plants in the family Pittosporaceae. Plants in the genus Pittosporum are shrubs or trees with leaves arranged alternately along the stems. The flowers are arranged singly or in cymes, with white to yellow petals fused at the base forming a short tube, with stamens that are free from each other. The fruit is a capsule with a single locule that opens to reveal angular seeds.
