It was first described in 2008 by the British botanist Caroline Mary Pannell, and is only found in a very small area, to the east of the McIlwraith Range on Cape York Peninsula, Queensland, Australia. [4] [5] [6] [7]
This species is listed by the Queensland Government's Department of Environment, Science and Innovation as least concern. [1] As of 25 March 2024 [update], it has not been assessed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).
