Peripentadenia
Peripentadenia is a genus of two rare rainforest trees from northeastern Queensland, Australia, both species at-risk. They are large buttressed trees, so they suit only very large gardens or tropical conservation settings rather than home growing.
Peripentadenia is a genus of two species of plants from the family Elaeocarpaceae endemic to the rainforests of northeastern Queensland, Australia. Both species have at-risk conservation statuses.
Both species grow in rainforest in the Wet Tropics bioregion of Queensland. P. mearsii mostly occurs on the eastern edge of the Atherton Tableland from about Millaa Millaa to about Gadgarra, with a small outlying group in Mount Lewis National Park. P. phelpsii mostly occurs around the Mossman Gorge area.
