Callicarpa pedunculata

Callicarpa pedunculata (common name - velvet-leaf) is a shrub or small tree in the Lamiaceae family native to both Queensland and New South Wales.

[1] C. pedunculata is a shrub or small tree growing from 3 to 4 m high.

[1] The twigs, the petioles and the underside of the leaf blade have a covering of stalked stellate hairs, while the upper surface of the leaf has a covering of stellate and simple hairs which become sparse when older.

The bottom part of the leaf has smooth margins but the remainder is toothed.

[citation needed] The fruit is astringent and too acidic to be eaten by people.
