Eupomatia barbata, also named Small Bolwarra, is a species of small shrubs, of the Australian continent ancient plant family Eupomatiaceae.
They grow naturally only (endemic) in the Wet Tropics rainforests, of north eastern Queensland, between the Cooktown area and the Ingham area (ca. 370 km (230 mi) distance), from sea level to about 1,100 m (3,600 ft) altitude.[3][4]
North Queensland small bolwarra shrubs grow up to about 1 metre (3 ft) tall and flower before fully grown from when smaller plants.[3][4]
North Queensland small bolwarra shrubs have had specimens collected since the late 1800s or earlier, however their formal description using this species name was only recently published in 2002 by botanist Laurie W. Jessup.[1][2]
