Arytera divaricata

Arytera divaricata, known as the gap axe, coogara, coogera or rose tamarind is a forest tree of eastern Australia.

It grows in fairly dry situations, often in littoral rainforests and monsoon forest.

The southernmost limit of natural distribution is Port Stephens (32° S) in New South Wales, extending north to Cape York at the northernmost tip of Australia.

The specific epithet divaricata is from Latin and refers to the wide-spreading branchlets of the flower panicle.

Flowers form between November and April, being cream in colour, on wide and hairy panicles.
