Bertya ernestiana is a small, many-branched shrub from south-east Queensland, known only from Mount Ernest and Mount May. It is rarely cultivated, so care is inferred from its native heath and open forest habitat on rocky slopes.
Bertya ernestiana is a species of flowering plant in the family Euphorbiaceae and is endemic to Queensland. It is a shrub with many branches, linear leaves, flowers borne singly in leaf axils or on the ends of branches, and narrowly elliptic capsules with a light brown seed.
This species of Bertya is only known from Mount Ernest and Mount May in south-east Queensland, where it grows on steep rocky slopes in heath or open eucalypt forest with a heathy understorey.
