Ryparosa kurrangii is a rare plant in the family Achariaceae which is endemic to a very small part of the Queensland tropical rain forests. It is a small tree growing under the rainforest canopy, producing its flowers and fruit on the lower part of the trunk. It was previously considered to be a form of the Ryparosa javanica complex of species.
Ryparosa kurrangii grows as an understory tree in well developed rainforest. It is endemic to Queensland, Australia, and restricted to an extremely small area, i.e. the coastal strip between the Daintree River in the south and Cape Tribulation in the north, and bounded by the Coral Sea to the east and the Great Dividing Range in the west. The total area of occupancy of this species is just 64 km2 (25 sq mi).
