Eupomatia bennettii, commonly known as Small Bolwarra, is an evergreen shrub native to the subtropical rainforests of eastern Australia, particularly north of the Nambucca River to Queensland. It is typically found in the understory of moist gullies and near streams, often associated with the diverse flora of closed forests. This plant usually reaches heights of 28 inches to 55 inches (70 to 140 cm) and has a bushy habit. The leaves of Small Bolwarra are hairless, reverse lanceolate, and range from 3 to 8 inches (7.5 to 20 cm) long, with a glossy green appearance.

Small Bolwarra is noted for its attractive cream and red flowers that bloom in spring, which are followed by obconical berries that turn yellowish as they mature. These features make it an appealing choice for shaded garden areas, where it can be used as an understory plant or for border planting. In cultivation, it prefers rich, well-drained soils and thrives in part shade to full shade conditions, mimicking its natural rainforest habitat. While it is not commonly grown, its unique flowers and fruit can add exotic interest to a garden. It requires consistent moisture and does not tolerate drought well. There are no widely recognized cultivars of this species, and it is generally free from major pests and diseases. However, it may be sensitive to root disturbance and should be planted in a location where it can remain undisturbed.CC BY-SA 4.0
