Corynocarpus comprises five species of flowering shrubs and trees found in New Guinea, Australia, New Zealand, New Caledonia, and Vanuatu. The leaves are dense, smooth, and glossy, displaying either solid green or variegated patterns akin to laurel. Certain species bear decorative orange fruits during the autumn season.

Corynocarpus laevigatus typically grows to a height of 10-15 meters in its natural habitat, but tends to take on a shrubbier form when cultivated. The leaves are elliptical, leathery, and dark green, reaching lengths of up to 20 centimeters. Mature specimens bear small, greenish-yellow or white flowers that appear in upright, branched clusters from spring through summer. These are succeeded by fleshy, oval-shaped fruits that turn orange as they ripen in the autumn.
