Cupaniopsis shirleyana, commonly known as wedge-leaved tuckeroo,[2] is a species of flowering plant in the soapberry family and is endemic to Queensland.

It is a small tree with paripinnate leaves, usually with 6 to 14 wedge-shaped leaflets with serrated edges, and separate male and female flowers arranged in spikes, the fruit a more or less spherical orange capsule containing a seed with an orange-red aril.

Cupaniopsis shirleyana is a small tree that typically grows to a height of 10 m (33 ft), its young parts covered with soft hairs.

[2][3] This species was first formally described in 1888 by Frederick Manson Bailey, who gave it the name Cupania shirleyana in a supplement to A Synopsis of the Queensland Flora from specimens collected near Sankey's Scrub near Brisbane.

[6] The specific epithet (shirleyana) honours John Francis Shirley for his "interest in the Field Naturalist Section of the Royal Society of Queensland".
