Wikipedia Abstract

Alectryon tomentosus, commonly known as the hairy birds eye, red jacket or woolly rambutan, is a rainforest tree of the Sapindaceae family found in eastern Australia. The specific epithet tomentosus refers to the hairy leaves and hairy young shoots. First described in 1857 by Ferdinand von Mueller as Nephelium tomentosum from a collection on the Brisbane River, it gained its current binomial name when reclassified by Ludwig Adolph Timotheus Radlkofer. \n* leaves & flowers \n* leaves & flowers \n* leaves & flowers
