Brassiantha hedraiantheroides is a species of Australian understory shrubs or small trees, constituting part of the plant family Celastraceae.[1][2] In 2012 botanist Andrew J. Ford formally scientifically named and described them as the first recognised Australian species of this Brassiantha genus.[1] Previously several publications provided informal scientific descriptions of this species under the provisional names "Hedraianthera sp. Mossman (V.K.Moriarty 2557) Qld Herbarium" or "Hedraianthera sp. Mossman".[1][3][4][5]
They grow naturally only (endemic) in a restricted area of the wet tropics rainforests of north eastern Queensland, Australia.[4] They grow as understory shrubs or small trees in rainforests and sclerophyll forests from near sea level to about 600 m (2,000 ft) altitude.[4]
