Polyosma hirsuta, commonly known as hairy polyosma, is a plant in the family Escalloniaceae which is endemic to northeastern Queensland, Australia. It is an evergreen small tree growing up to 10 m (33 ft) high. The leaves may be 6 to 14 cm (2.4 to 5.5 in) long and 2 to 5 cm (0.79 to 1.97 in) wide, often with toothed margins and each tooth exhibiting a short stiff spine. Most parts of the plant, including the twigs, leaves and fruit, are clothed in fine pale brown hairs. The inflorescence is a raceme (an unbranched spike) produced in the leaf axils or at the ends of branches. The cream-coloured flowers are tubular, about 12 mm (0.47 in) long by 3 mm (0.12 in) wide. The fruit is a rounded or ovoid, dark purple or black berry containing a single seed. The fruit measures about 20 mm × 14 mm (0.79 in × 0.55 in) and the seed about 10 mm × 7 mm (0.39 in × 0.28 in)....read more on Wikipedia.
