Prunus costata is a tree species native to New Guinea, growing up to 25 meters tall. It is very similar in appearance to Prunus grisea var grisea, except for its seeds. The flowers of P. costata are white and small, with only 1-3 mm long petals and 20 to 35 stamens each. The stamens are 5.5 mm long, giving the flowers a bristly appearance. This species blooms 3 to 4 times a year and is able to produce fruit after most flowerings. The type specimen was collected at high altitudes on Mt. Scratchley.
