About

Pseuduvaria mulgraveana is a species of plant in the family Annonaceae endemic to Queensland, Australia. L.W. Jessup, the botanist who first formally described the species, named it after the Mulgrave River, where the specimen he examined was collected.

The variety mulgraveana occurs near the bases of Queensland's two highest mountains, Mount Bartle Frere and Mount Bellenden Ker, at altitudes from near sea level up to about 100 m (330 ft). The variety glabrescens occurs further north, from the Mulgrave River to the Mowbray River near Port Douglas, at altitudes up to 800 m (2,600 ft).
