Buchanania arborescens, commonly known as the little gooseberry tree[3] or sparrow's mango,[1] is a small and slender tree native to seasonal tropical forests of northern Australia, Southeast Asia, and the Solomon Islands.

The leaves are spirally arranged, smooth, leathery, elongated oblong, 5–26 cm long.

[3] The species was formally described in 1826 by botanist Carl Ludwig Blume based on plant specimens collected from Java.

Initially naming it Coniogeton arborescens, Blume transferred the species to the genus Buchanania in 1850.

This resemblance induced us to call the tree 'the little gooseberry'tree" quoted from Leichhardt: Overland journey to Port Essington, p. 479.
