Planchonella eerwah is a rare species of Australian rainforest tree in the family Sapotaceae.
[2] The tree was first described as Sideroxylon eerwah in 1894 by Frederick Manson Bailey,[3] before being moved to its current binomial name by Baehni in 1942.
[6] Planchonella eerwah grows as a tall shrub or small tree reaching 4 to 10 metres (13 to 33 ft) high with scaly bark on its trunk.
[5] The dark red-purple to black fruit are oval to globular, measuring 3–6 cm (1–2.5 in) long, with three to five seeds.
[5] Dominant associated species in southern populations include hoop pine (Araucaria cunninghamii), Harpullia pendula, and members of the genus Flindersia, and in the northern Argyrodendron species, Atalaya multiflora, Choricarpia subargentea, Excoecaria dallachyana, and Flindersia australis.
