Hedlundia scannelliana, commonly known as Scannell's whitebeam, is a species of shrub or tree endemic to Ross Island near Killarney in southwest Ireland.
[2] Hedlundia scannelliana is a small tree growing to about 5 m (16 ft) in height.
Both the base and apex of the leaf form acute angles, while the margins are lobed, incised 1/7 to 1/4 the way to the midrib.
[2] The species now known as H. scannelliana was first critically examined in 1988, when it was believed to be an ecotype of Hedlundia anglica.
[4] The specific epithet, scannelliana, was chosen to honour Irish botanist Maura Scannell, author of, among other works, the Census Catalogue of the Flora of Ireland.
