Prunus dolichobotrys is a species of Prunus native to New Guinea, the Bismarck Archipelago, and the Raja Ampat Islands. It is a tree reaching 30 m, and is morphologically very similar to Prunus gazelle‑peninsulae, aside from their fruit.[5] Native people use its leaves in soups and other dishes for their flavor.[6][7]
