Siphonodon australis, also known as ivorywood or scrub guava, is a plant species belonging to the bittersweet family. It is native to north-eastern Australia and can grow up to 30 meters in height. The leaves are small, measuring 4.5-12 cm in length and 2.5-2.5 cm in width. The plant produces small white flowers in groups of 1-3, with fruits that are hard and yellow in color, containing small seeds. This species is found in drier rainforests and monsoon forests in north-eastern and south-eastern Queensland, as well as north-eastern New South Wales, at elevations up to 900 meters. There are two recognized infrataxa of Siphonodon australis, var. australis and var. keysii, both with similar characteristics.
