Androcalva perkinsiana, commonly known as headland commersonia,[2] is a species of flowering plant in the family Malvaceae and is endemic to a restricted part of central eastern Queensland.
[3][4] This species was first formally described in 2006 by Gordon Guymer who gave it the name Commersonia perkinsiana in the journal Austrobaileya from specimens collected in the Byfield Conservation Park in 2005.
[5] In 2012, Carolyn Wilkins and Barbara Whitlock transferred the species to Androcalva as A. perkinsiana in Australian Systematic Botany.
[6] The specific epithet (perkinsiana) honours David Perkins (1945–2006), who furthered the conservation of Queensland's coastal environment and marine parks.
[3][4] Androcalva perkinsiana is listed as "critically endangered" under the Australian Government Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999.
