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. ^{[1] [2] [3] [4]} The species constitutes part of the plant family Picrodendraceae. ^{[1] [2] [3]} 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 . ^{[3] [5]} Notably, trees grow naturally in the Thylogale Nature Refuge. ^[1]
