Dansiea grandiflora is a species of rainforest tree that is endemic to Queensland, Australia. It is known to exist only within a limited zone of notophyll vine forest on Cape York Peninsula. It is listed as ‘Vulnerable’ under the Queensland Nature Conservation Act (1992).[1][2][3]
One of only two species in the Dansiea genus along with Dansiea elliptica, Dansiea grandiflora was first described by Leslie Pedley in Flora of Australia Volume 18 (1990) from a specimen in relatively poor condition. Paul Irwin Forster later collected higher quality specimens from which he provided an amplified botanical description of the species in 1994.[1][4][2][3] The genus name honours Sam Dansie (1927–2012), an Australian forester and plant collector.[5]
