Pseuduvaria froggattii is a rare species of tree which is restricted to a very small part of northeastern Queensland, Australia.
Pseuduvaria froggattii is a small rainforest tree reaching 15 m (49 ft) in height and a DBH (trunk diameter) of up to 15 cm (5.9 in).
[citation needed] They are glabrous (hairless) on their upper and lower surfaces and have 7-10 pairs of secondary veins branching from the rachis, or midrib.
[4]: 308 The fruit are yellow or orange when ripe, obovoid to ellipsoid in shape (i.e. like a Rugby ball), and measure about 20 mm (0.79 in) long.
His description was based on plant material collected 1886 by W. Sayer and W. Froggatt from the Mossman River, and was published in January 1887 in the Australasian Journal of Pharmacy.
[4][11] In 1986 the Australian botanist Laurence W. Jessup gave the species the new combination Pseuduvaria froggattii, which was published in a brief one page paper in the journal of the Queensland Herbarium Austrobaileya.
[6][13] This species is restricted to a small part of Queensland's Wet Tropics, from Melissa Creek near Cape Tribulation in the north, to the area around Black Mountain, southwest of Port Douglas.
