Medicosma forsteri is a small rainforest tree in the citrus family, known only from one restricted location in Queensland. It is not a common cultivated plant, so there is little established guidance on growing it.
Medicosma forsteri is a species of small tree in the family Rutaceae and is endemic to a restricted area of Queensland. It has elliptical leaves and cream-coloured flowers borne singly or in small groups in leaf axils.
This medicosma is only known from the type location where it grows at an altitude of 220 m (720 ft) in rainforest dominated by bangalow palm (Archontophoenix cunninghamiana).
