Neofabricia myrtifolia

Neofabricia myrtifolia is a species of flowering plant in the family Myrtaceae, and is endemic to Queensland.

It is a shrub or small tree with lance-shaped or egg-shaped leaves, the narrower end towards the base, yellow flowers borne singly in leaf axils with many stamens, and more or less cup-shaped fruits.

Flowering occurs from May to August, and the fruit is more or less cup-shaped, 7–9 mm (0.28–0.35 in) in diameter containing winged seeds.

[2][3] This species was first described in 1788 by Joseph Gaertner, who gave it the name Fabricia myrtifolia in his book De Fructibus et Seminibus Plantarum.

[6] Neofabricia myrtifolia grows on exposed, rocky headlands and in heath on coastal dunes, between Horn Island and Cooktown on Cape York Peninsula at altitudes from near sea level to 100 m (330 ft).
