Sankowskya is a genus of plants. The sole known species, Sankowskya stipularis, is a tree endemic to one locality in the Wet Tropics rainforests of northeastern Queensland, Australia. The species constitutes part of the plant family Picrodendraceae. Few botanical collections have ever been made of the trees, from a very restricted area of the Wet Tropics rainforests, hence the species has obtained the conservation status of "endangered" in the legislative regulation of the Queensland Government's Nature Conservation Act 1992. Notably, trees grow naturally in the Thylogale Nature Refuge.

The species grow naturally in the tropics, including at high altitudes having temperate climates, in forests in the region of the western Pacific ocean and Malesia. In New Caledonia, published botanical science describes eight species found growing naturally, which botanists have not found anywhere else (endemics). Additional species have been found across Burma, Sumatra, Borneo, the Philippines, Sulawesi, Ambon Island, the Moluccas, New Guinea, the Bismarck Archipelago, the Solomon Islands, and one endemic species each in Fiji and the Wet Tropics of Queensland, Australia.
Hollandaea is a genus of four species known to science, of Australian rainforest trees, constituting part of the plant family Proteaceae.
Brassiantha hedraiantheroides is a species of Australian understory shrubs or small trees, constituting part of the plant family Celastraceae. In 2012 botanist Andrew J. Ford formally scientifically named and described them as the first recognised Australian species of the genus Brassiantha. Previously several publications provided informal scientific descriptions of this species under the provisional names "Hedraianthera sp. Mossman Qld Herbarium" or "Hedraianthera sp. Mossman".
