A genus of Australian tropical plants bearing unusual flowers and fruit that grow directly on branches and trunks.
From Greek eu- (good, well) + -pomatia (possibly from poma, fruit). Named for the striking appearance of the fruit growth pattern.
Eupomatia plants do something most plants don't—they produce flowers and fruit growing directly from old wood rather than on branches, a habit that makes them look like the tree is growing fruit from its trunk.
