Common Name discussion I've noted that "Riberry" has been removed as the common name in the article and only applied to the berry. While it may seem that that Riberry only applies to the fruit, in actual fact it is the primary common name given the tree itself. For reference: Flora of New South Wales, Vol. 2, Ed. G. Harden, 1993, p. 144, where "Riberry" is the stated (and only common name) for the species. Also refer to 'Trees and Shrubs in Rainforests of NSW and Southern QLD', Williams et al, and 'Rainforest Trees of Mainland South-eastern Australia', Floyd. If you have any substantial references that contradict this please let me know. However, I'm changing the common name back to riberry as it applies to the species in these standard authoritive texts.

[edit]

I note that this tree is mentioned as having fruit that's edible and is a gourmet bushfood: "The berry has a tart, cranberry-like flavour, with a hint of cloves. It has been popular as a gourmet bushfood since the early 1980s and is commercially cultivated on a small-scale basis."

May I suggest adding a link to "bush tucker" here under "See also."

I don't know how to add the links.
