Homotypic Heterotypic Meiogyne cylindrocarpa, commonly known as fingersop or native apricot in Australia, is a small tree or shrub in the custard apple family Annonaceae, native to parts of tropical Asia and Australasia.
[7] This plant was first described in 1909 as Mitrephora cylindrocarpa by the Dutch botanist William Burck, and published in the book Nova Guinea : résultats de l'expédition scientifique néerlandaise à la Nouvelle-Guinée.
[11] It grows in drier types of rainforest such as monsoon forest, in rocky areas and gullies.
[1] Fingersop is typically propagated by seeds, taking anywhere from two weeks to six months to germinate.
Trees bear fruit after five to six years, but when grafted, will produce much sooner and develop a smaller, more compact form.
