Peripentadenia is a genus of two species of large trees from the family Elaeocarpaceae endemic to the rainforests of northeastern Queensland, Australia.[2][3][4][5][6] Sometimes they have the common name quandong.[4][7]
Botanists have formally described two species, both endemic to restricted areas of the Wet Tropics rainforests of northeastern Queensland.[2][3][4][7][8]
Both species have official recognition of at risk of extinction in the wild.[9]
Species
- Peripentadenia mearsii (C.T.White) L.S.Sm.[1] Buff or Grey Quandong – endemic to a restricted area of the Wet Tropics rainforests[4][5][7]
- Synonym and base name: Actephila mearsii C.T.White
- Queensland government official "near threatened" species conservation status.[9]:73
- Peripentadenia phelpsii B.Hyland & Coode[5] – endemic to a very restricted part of the rainforests of the Mossman area of the Wet Tropics[4][8]
- Queensland government official "vulnerable" species conservation status.[9]:54
