Ceratopetalum iugumense is a small rainforest tree from the highlands near Cape Tribulation in northeast Queensland, Australia, growing at about 600 to 700 m altitude. Growing it well means mimicking a cool, wet, shaded rainforest understorey.
Ceratopetalum iugumense is a species of plant in the family Cunoniaceae, native to a small area of northeast Queensland, Australia. It is a small rainforest tree, first described in 2002, and is restricted to the highlands inland from Cape Tribulation, at altitudes around 600–700 m (2,000–2,300 ft).
In the paper in which it was initially described, the authors Andrew Carl Frank Rozefelds and Richard W. Barnes refer to this species as Ceratopetalum iugumensis. That name is now only used by Queensland authorities, while the Australian Plant Census uses a form with a modified ending, Ceratopetalum iugumense. The latter form is also recognised by international authorities.
