Diploglottis alaticarpa is a small-range evergreen rainforest tree from northeast Queensland, grown mainly in its native wet tropical habitat rather than in gardens. It is an understorey species of basalt-soil rainforest with a very restricted natural range.
Diploglottis alaticarpa is a plant in the maple and lychee family Sapindaceae which is endemic to northeast Queensland, Australia. It was first recognised as a distinct species in 1994 and was formally described in 2014.
This species inhabits well developed rainforest on basalt soils, where it is an understorey tree. The natural range is very small, limited to a part of the Wooroonooran National Park between the North and South branches of the Johnstone River, at altitudes from 100 m (330 ft) to 360 m (1,180 ft). The estimated area of occupancy is just 28 km2 (11 sq mi).
