About Acronychia imperforata F.Muell.
Acronychia imperforata, commonly known as Logan apple, is a species of shrub or tree that usually reaches a height of 9 to 10 meters, or 30 to 33 feet. Its leaves are arranged in opposite pairs, are simple, more or less hairless, and range in shape from elliptical to egg-shaped with the narrower end at the base. The leaves measure 33 to 133 millimeters, or 1.3 to 5.2 inches, long and 16 to 60 millimeters, or 0.63 to 2.36 inches, wide, growing on a leaf stalk that is 3 to 25 millimeters, or 0.12 to 0.98 inches, long. The flowers are yellowish or creamy white, arranged in small cymes that grow in leaf axils and are 20 to 50 millimeters, or 0.79 to 1.97 inches, long. Each individual flower sits on a stalk 1.5 to 4.5 millimeters, or 0.059 to 0.177 inches, long. This species produces four sepals 1.5 to 2.5 millimeters wide, four petals 5.5 to 9 millimeters, or 0.22 to 0.35 inches, long, and eight stamens that alternate in length. Flowering can occur in most months of the year. The fruit is a fleshy, yellowish drupe, shaped from pear-shaped to roughly spherical, that measures 9 to 16 millimeters, or 0.35 to 0.63 inches, long, and contains seeds 4 to 6 millimeters, or 0.16 to 0.24 inches, long. Acronychia imperforata grows in near-coastal rainforest, distributed between Somerset on Cape York in north-eastern Queensland and Seal Rocks in New South Wales.
