context_page_description: Endiandra discolor is an Australian tree, growing from near Gosford, New South Wales to Tully, Queensland in the tropics. Common names include rose walnut and domatia tree.
  Endiandra discolor is a buttressed rainforest tree. The habitat is tropical, warm temperate or subtropical rainforest, particularly on the poorer volcanic soil types, and alluvial soil near streams.
context_section_description: The leaves are alternate, not toothed. 6 to 10 cm long, 2 to 5 cm wide. Blunt or bluntly pointed at the end of the leaf. Ovate to ovate elliptic in shape. Leaf stem 5 to 10 mm long. Leaves glossy on the top surface, greyish or paler underneath. The specific name discolor refers to the difference in colour of the top and bottom leaf surfaces.
  Leaves veiny. The midrib, lateral veins and net veins visible on both surfaces, raised and more evident under the leaf. Midrib and lateral veins a pale green colour. The alternative common name domatia tree refers to the prominent raised, kidney shaped glands on the underside of the leaf. They occur at the meeting of the mid-rib and some of the lateral veins.
