AKA  Butterbush, Cattle Bush, Native Apricot, Gumbi Gumbi, Cumby Cumby, Meemeei and Berrigan. A resilient desert tree, occasionally up to 10m high, and living up to a century. The bright orange fruit can stay on the trees for years, too.

Extracts of the plant have been used in the treatment of eczema, pruritus, internal pains, skin irritations, sprained limbs, and colds. A compress of warmed leaves is said to induce milk flow in new mothers. Of course, they say that sort of thing about a lot of plants. It also produces a chewable gum.
