Huberantha nitidissima

Huberantha nitidissima, commonly known as canary beech or shiny leaf tree, is a plant in the custard apple family Annonaceae.

It is found in seasonal tropical forests and along moist watercourses in New Caledonia, Vanuatu and the Australian states of New South Wales, Queensland, and the Northern Territory.

In 1863 the English botanist George Bentham transferred it to the genus Polyalthia, published in his book Flora Australiensis.

[7] Later studies found that Polyalthia was not monophyletic, and in 2012 Tanawat Chaowasku published a paper in which this taxon was transferred to the novel genus Hubera.

It has also been observed in the southern portion of New Guinea adjacent to Cape York, and in New Caledonia and Vanuatu in the Coral Sea.
