Denhamia parvifolia, the small-leaved denhamia, is a small shrub native to south-east Queensland, Australia, found in semi-evergreen vine thickets and Brigalow communities. It is rarely grown in gardens, so care advice is limited and mostly drawn from general knowledge of related Celastraceae shrubs.
Denhamia parvifolia, commonly known as the small-leaved denhamia, is a species of small shrub which is endemic to South-East Queensland, Australia
Denhamia parvifolia occurs on labile to sub-laible sandstone, siltstone, shales, and alkaline and acidic volcanic igneous regolith. It has been observed growing on red-brown sandy to clay loams on undulating hill slopes at elevations of 160-560m above sea level. It is restricted to semi-evergreen vine thickets and Acacia harpophylla (Brigalow) communities. Its range distribution occurs from Eidsvold in the North, south to Chinchilla and east to Kingaroy. The Acacia harpophylla and semi-evergreen vine thickets in the north and south Brigalow Belt and Nandewar bioregions are classified as endangered vegetation communities under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999.
