Planchonella duclitan is a species of plant in the family Sapotaceae.[3] A tree that may attain a height of 40 meters, presenting glossy leaves and orange fruit. It is common on Christmas Island, dominating up to 20% of the upper leaf canopy, as a tree to 30 meters, in established forest or around 40% in regenerating habitat where it may attain the maximum height.[4]
The species has been described as Planchonella nitida (Blume) Dubard,[4] later regarded as a synonym for this treatment.[2] The tree is used as a nest site by Abbott's booby, a sea-bird species Papasula abbotti,[4] and fruit and flowers provide food for the fruit bat Pteropus natalis.[5]
