Helicia lewisensis is a species of rainforest trees, of north–eastern Queensland, Australia, and constitutes part of the flowering plant family Proteaceae.[1][2][3][4][5]
Botanists know of them growing naturally only (endemic) in the northern upland rainforests of the Wet Tropics region, from about 900 to 1,330 m (2,950 to 4,360 ft) altitude.[1][2][3][4][5]
As of December 2013 this species has the official, current, Qld government conservation status of "vulnerable" species.[6]
They have been recorded growing up to about 15 m (50 ft) tall.[4][5]
