Ceratopetalum iugumense is a species of plant in the family Cunoniaceae, native to a small area of northeast Queensland, Australia. It is a small rainforest tree, first described in 2002, and is restricted to the highlands inland from Cape Tribulation, at altitudes around 600–700 m (2,000–2,300 ft).[4]
In the paper in which it was initially described, the authors Andrew Carl Frank Rozefelds and Richard W. Barnes refer to this species as Ceratopetalum iugumensis.[5] That name is now only used by Queensland authorities,[1][4] while the Australian Plant Census uses a form with a modified ending, Ceratopetalum iugumense.[2] The latter form is also recognised by international authorities.[3][6][7][8]
This species is listed as least concern under the Queensland Government's Nature Conservation Act.[1]
