Denhamia

Denhamia is a genus of plants within the family Celastraceae, with all species endemic to eastern and northern Australia. The species inhabit a variety of environments, from rainforest to semi-arid savanna. All species grow as shrubs or small trees up to 10 metres in height. The genus is composed of nine species, with two currently unnamed species:

  • Denhamia celastroides
  • Denhamia moorei
  • Denhamia obscura
  • Denhamia oleaster
  • Denhamia parviflora
  • Denhamia pittosporoides
    • Denhamia pittosporoides subsp. pittosporoides
    • Denhamia pittosporoides subsp. angustifolia
  • '' Denhamia viridissima
  • Denhamia sp. Jardine River
  • Denhamia sp. Junee Tableland

Some authors regard Denhamia as a paraphyletic genus which should properly include the Australasian Maytenus species.
