Hypsophila halleyana

About

Hypsophila halleyana is a species of plants in the family Celastraceae, found only in the Wet Tropics bioregion of Queensland, Australia. It is a small stunted tree to about 12 m (39 ft) tall which grows only on the upper slopes of Mount Bellenden Ker and Mount Bartle Frere, at altitudes between 1,300 and 1,600 m. Despite its extremely restricted range it is not considered to be endangered. It was first described by German-Australian botanist Ferdinand von Mueller in 1887.
