Elaeocarpus peterii.sn nov. is described from the Oligo-Miocene Glencoe locality in central Queensland. This species has prominent stellate ridges and fine punctate ornamentation. These features support a close relationship to extant E. steffaris L.S. Smith fronl northeastern Queenlsland.Elaeocarpus clarkei(F. Muell). Selling is redescribed. The punctate ornamentation and large oval endocarps of E. clarkei (F. Meull) are closely comparable to extant E. bancroftii F. Muell. & F.M. Bail. and E. linsmithii G.P. Guymer from north eastern Queensland. Elaeocarpus clarkei is a common element in many oligo-Miocene deep leads in southeastern Australia. The age of some of the deep leads (buried placer deposits) in Victoria, e.g. Haddon and Foster, is discussed; the limited data available suggests a minimum mid-Miocene age for these localities.

The Royal Society of Tasmania acknowledges, with deep respect, the traditional owners of this land, and the ongoing custodianship of the Aboriginal people of Tasmania. The Society pays respect to Elders past, present and emerging. We acknowledge that Tasmanian Aboriginal Peoples have survived severe and unjust impacts resulting from invasion and dispossession of their Country. As an institution dedicated to the advancement of knowledge, the Royal Society of Tasmania recognises Aboriginal cultural knowledge and practices and seeks to respect and honour these traditions and the deep understanding they represent.
On 15 February 2021, the Royal Society of Tasmania offered a formal Apology to the Tasmanian Aboriginal people.
