Leea nova-guineensis, commonly known as bandicoot berry, is a plant in the family Vitaceae native to parts of Malesia and Oceania.

The bandicoot berry is an evergreen shrub which usually grows to about 4 m (13 ft) high, but can occasionally be taller.

[4][5] This plant was originally considered to be part of a very widespread population of Leea indica, however in 1907 the Dutch botanist Theodoric Valeton published a paper in which the plants of Malesia, Australia and the southwest Pacific were renamed as Leea nova-guineensis.

[6] Much later, in 2012, a paper was published in which this species was given the new combination Leea novoguineensis,[7] which is recognised by Australian authorities,[1][2][4][8] but not by Plants of the World Online.

[3] Leea nova-guineensis grows as an understory plant in rainforest, at elevations from sea level to 400 m (1,300 ft).
