Maclura cochinchinensis is a species of flowering plant in the family Moraceae.[1][2] This vine or scrambling shrub is sometimes referred to by the common name cockspur thorn. The native range extends from China, through Malesia and into Queensland and northern New South Wales.[3] The species inhabits various types of tropical forest: most commonly in monsoon forests.[4] The globular, yellow or orange fruit are sweet and edible and were a traditional food source for Australian Aborigines.[5]
