Baker Cordyline manners-suttoniae, commonly known as the giant palm lily, is an evergreen plant found only in rainforest of northeastern Queensland, Australia.

The fleshy petiole may be 30 cm (12 in) long, is "U" shaped in cross-section, and the base widens into a sheath clasping the stem.

The fruit is a bright red glossy berry (in botanical terms) measuring about 8–15 mm (0.31–0.59 in) diameter, containing up to eight small black seeds.

[4][5][6][7] This species was first described by the German-Australian botanist Ferdinand von Mueller, who published the name and description in his book Fragmenta phytographiæ Australiæ in 1866.

[5][6] The species epithet manners-suttoniae was given by Mueller in honour of the wife of the Victorian Governor John Henry Manners-Sutton.
