Myrsine howittiana, the brush muttonwood [2] or muttonwood,[3] is a shrub or small tree in the family Primulaceae. The species is endemic to eastern Australia.[2][4]
It grows to between 3 and 10 metres in height and has smooth, often whitish, bark.[3] The buds of new growth are covered with rusty-coloured hairs. The leaves are obovate to elliptic in shape and between 4 and 13 cm long and 2 to 4 cm wide.[2] These are shiny with wavy edges and a duller undersurface and have petioles that are 7 to 14 mm in length.[2] Greenish-white to cream flowers are produced in spring and summer.[2] These are followed by blue or mauve fruits which are 5 to 7 mm in diameter and ripen between December and June.[2]
The species is pollinated by a thrips (thunderfly), Thrips setipennis.[5] The species occurs from southern Victoria (37° S), northwards through New South Wales to Fraser Island (25° S) in Queensland often in areas where rainforest interfaces with moist open forest.[2]
