Neofabricia mjoebergii

Neofabricia mjoebergii is a shrub or small tree that typically grows to a height of 10 m (33 ft) and has hard, grey bark. The leaves are narrowly elliptic, sometimes lance-shaped or egg-shaped leaves with the narrower end towards the base, mostly 6–10 mm (0.24–0.39 in) long, 2–4 mm (0.079–0.157 in) wide and sessile. The flowers are usually borne singly, rarely in groups of 3, with leaf-like bracteoles. The floral tube is funnel-shaped, 2–3 mm (0.079–0.118 in) long and 3.0–3.5 mm (0.12–0.14 in) wide and hairy. The sepals are broadly egg-shaped, 2–3 mm (0.079–0.118 in) long and the petals are white or cream-coloured, more or less round, 3.5–4.0 mm (0.14–0.16 in) long. The ovary has 5 to 7 locules and the style is 3.5–4.5 mm (0.14–0.18 in) long with a stigma 0.4–0.5 mm (0.016–0.020 in) wide. Flowering occurs from August to October, and the fruit is broadly conical, 3–4 mm (0.12–0.16 in) in diameter containing winged seeds.

Neofabricia mjoebergii grows in open forest and woodland in central inland areas of Cape York Peninsula, south-west of Princess Charlotte Bay.
