Pimelea plurinervia

Pimelea plurinervia is a shrub that typically grows to a height of and has hairy young stems. The leaves are arranged alternately along the branches, elliptic, lance-shaped of egg-shaped with the narrower end towards the base, long and wide, on a petiole long. The upper surface of the leaves is sometimes hairy, the lower surface with hairs pressed against the surface. The flowers are borne on the ends of branches in heads of 8 to 18 on a densely hairy rachis long, each flower on a pedicel long. The flowers are sometimes female, the floral tube long and white, the sepals long and spread widely apart. Flowering occurs from August to February, and the seeds are oval, black and long. ==Taxonomy==

Pimelea plurinervia was first formally described in 2017 by Anthony Bean in the journal Austrobaileya from specimens he collected in Hinchinbrook Island National Park in 1991. The specific epithet (plurinervia) means "many veins", referring to the veins on the leaves. ==Distribution and habitat==

This pimelea grows in wet forest and on the edges of rainforest on Hinchinbrook Island and nearby mainland areas, and near Tully Falls south of Ravenshoe. ==References==
