Gossia byrnesii is a rare tree in the myrtle family, native to wet tropical northern Queensland, known from very few wild plants. It is best grown as a tropical garden tree in warm, humid conditions with consistent moisture.
Gossia byrnesii is a tree in the Myrtaceae family, first described in 2003 by Neil Snow, Gordon Guymer and Sawvel.
At the time of its description it was considered critically endangered and was known only from its type specimen (a plant cultivated from material collected at Isabella Falls, Queensland).
