Pilidiostigma glabrum, or the plum myrtle, is a small tree or shrub native to the rainforests of eastern Australia. It is commonly seen in disturbed sites from near Port Macquarie in the south to Fraser Island in the north. Its leaves are opposite on the stem, 2 to 10 cm long, 1 to 3 cm wide, and have oil glands. It has small branches coloured purple/brown. White or pink flowers grow relatively large, 2 cm across, appearing from April to November. The fruit is a purplish black pear shaped berry, up to 13 mm in diameter, with four to eight kidney shaped seeds. Seeds germinate easily from 7 to 28 days, and cuttings are slow to strike roots.
