Commonly called the palm lily in Queensland, this rainforest plant is right in the middle of its range along costal areas of eastern Australia (Lismore to Bundaberg). The species is either Cordyline petiolaris or Cordyline rubra.

The flowers are a lilac in colour, giving rise to the characteristic bight red berry (and hence the latin ‘rubra’ in species name). These plants are very hardy and can survive dry conditions because of underground tubers. This specimen is growing in a well-shaded section next to the Bapaume Road entrance.
