Asteromyrtus brassii is a shrub or small tree from the myrtle family, native to far north Queensland and southern New Guinea, grown mainly in tropical gardens. It needs a warm, frost-free climate and well-drained soil.
Asteromyrtus brassii, also known as Brass's asteromyrtus, is a species of plant in the myrtle family Myrtaceae that is native to New Guinea and Australia.
In Australia, the species' natural range is restricted to the north-eastern Cape York Peninsula of Far North Queensland, no farther south than the McIlwraith Range, though it has been introduced to horticulture elsewhere. In New Guinea it occurs in the Western Province of Papua New Guinea with a range probably extending into Papua. It grows in woodland, open forest or heath, occasionally on rain forest edges, with an altitudinal range of 30–500 m.
