Atractocarpus stipularis is a small, rounded, sparsely branched tree growing to 3–12 m (9.8–39.4 ft) in height. The smooth, ovate leaves are 12–30 cm (4.7–11.8 in) long and 8–24 cm (3.1–9.4 in) wide. The inflorescences are cymose and are produced in the leaf axils. They bear fragrant white flowers—males with 20 or more, females with 2 or 3. The yellow-green fruits are about 3.4 cm (1.3 in) long. The flowering season is from early November to late February.[1]
Atractocarpus stipularis is endemic to Lord Howe Island in the Tasman Sea, 600 km (370 mi) east of the New South Wales mainland. It is widespread in sheltered sites at all elevations on the island.[1]
