"Shrub to 4.5 m; branchlets glabrous or puberulous." (Flora of Australia)

Denhamia cunninghamii was previously Maytenus cunninghamii and the synonym should also be sort when making a wider study of the taxon. Many specimens we encounter stand less than 2m high however some appearing as small, robust, solitary small trees occasionally occur at a height of 3-4m or a little more.

We have collected and cleaned Denhamia seed on a trial scale since 2010 and are currently experimenting with it more thoroughly. Collection and drying of material for seed production proceeds in a similar way to Geijera parviflora although it is not expected that the same quality problems will be encountered.

Denhamia cunninghamii would fill a role in rehabilitation as a taxon for understory in dry sclerophyll forest and woodland settings. It is naturally widespread ensuring relevance across large areas where it might be utilised.
