Atractocarpus fitzalanii, commonly known as the brown gardenia or yellow mangosteen, is a species of plant in the coffee and madder family Rubiaceae.

[11] The description was based on plant material collected by the Irish-born botanist Eugene Fitzalan during an expedition in August–October 1860 to find the mouth of the Burdekin River.

In 1999 the Australian botanist Christopher Francis Puttock published a revision of Atractocarpus in Australia, in which he gave this species its current combination.

[5] Two subspecies are recognised:[4][5][6][10] The genus name Atractocarpus is derived from the Ancient Greek terms átraktos meaning 'spindle' and karpós 'fruit', and refers to the spindle-shaped fruit of the type species.

tenuipes is found at higher elevations from 500 to 1,500 m (1,600 to 4,900 ft) and has a more restricted range than its parent, from near Cape Tribulation to the southern Atherton Tableland.

[7][8] Its bushy lush foliage and bright new growth, fragrant flowers and edible and tasty fruit give it horticultural potential in gardens in subtropical climates.
