bio.wikisort.org - PlantGrewia retusifolia is a shrub species in the family Malvaceae. Common names include dysentery bush, emu-berry, dog's balls, turkey bush and diddle diddle.[3][4] It is widespread in tropical and subtropical areas of Eastern Australia and Northern Western Australia.[5] The species produces small, sweet, two-lobed fruit with a fibrous acidic pulp surrounding the seeds. Leichhardt described the fruits as having a very agreeable taste, which could be boiled to make a refreshing drink.[5] Indigenous Australians use the bark and leaves in medications.[4] The crushed leaves were used as a poultice to relieve toothaches.[5]
