Drypetes deplanchei subsp. affinis

It is a tree growing to 16 m in height, with smooth, pale grey bark often mottled pink with lichens. The leathery, oval leaves are usually 50–80 mm long and 30–40 mm wide. The small green flowers are 6 mm across, appearing from the end of December to late January. The oval, orange-red to yellow fruits are 20–25 mm long.^[1][2]

The subspecies is endemic to Australia's subtropical Lord Howe Island in the Tasman Sea. There it is one of the most common and widespread trees in the lowlands.^[1][2]
