Davidsonia pruriens, also known as ooray, Davidson's plum, or Queensland Davidson's plum, is a medium-sized rainforest tree of northern Queensland, Australia.
The leaves are large and compound. The edible dark burgundy-coloured fruit is produced in large clusters from the branches or the trunk, depending on the type. There are at least two distinct forms, with a suggestion that one of these is an undescribed species.
The indigenous name - ooray - is being increasingly used by growers and processors.
Habitat Various types of wetter, primary rainforests, at elevations from sea level to 1,000 metres.
Uses The tree is cultivated to a limited extent for its sour fruit, which is used to make jam, sauces, cordial and wine. The fruit is high in antioxidant activity.
