[1] Antidesma venosum, commonly known as the tassel-berry, is a species of small dioecious tree in the family Phyllanthaceae.

Numerous small, sessile flowers are produced on drooping catkin-like spikes, which are about 10 cm long.

The flowers produce an unpleasant smell, and the tree is in fruit for more than a month during late summer.

Each small, oval-shaped fruit measures about 8 x 4 mm in size.

They are initially fleshy green, and change to bright red and eventually purplish black as they ripen.
