Pleiogynium timorense

Pleiogynium timorense (Burdekin Plum, marketed as "bush tucker") is a species of flowering plant in the Anacardiaceae family. It is native to several of the Pacific Islands, New Guinea, and Australia.

It is a semi-deciduous tree that can reach up to 65 ft (20 m) high, but in cultivation, it usually reaches 39 ft (12 m). It has a dense canopy of glossy dark green leaves and rough, fissured, and flaky gray to gray-brown bark. The flowers are yellowish-green in color and flower between January and March; it is a dioecious tree, having male and female flowers on different trees. It matures into an egg-shaped drupe, dark purple in color, containing a single seed.

The fruit of the Burdekin Plum is edible when ripe. To be ripened, the fruit needs to removed from the tree and placed in a dark, damp place, such as being buried underground, a method in which native abiroginals used. The fruit can be eaten raw, in stews, jellies, jams, and preserves.
