Hollandaea sayeriana

Hollandaea sayeriana, sometimes named Sayer's silky oak, is a species of Australian rainforest small trees, constituting part of the plant family Proteaceae.^{[2][3][4][5][6][7][8]}

They grow naturally only (endemic) in restricted areas of the rainforests of the Wet Tropics region of north eastern Queensland, in the region of Mounts Bellenden Ker,^[9] Bartle Frere and the eastern Atherton Tableland. They grow as understory trees beneath the canopy of lowlands to tablelands rainforests, up to about 800 m (2,600 ft) altitude.^[5][6][7][8]

As of January 2014 this species has the official, current, Qld government conservation status of "near threatened" species.^[1]

In 1886–87, German-Australian government botanist Ferdinand von Mueller formally scientifically described this species,^[3] named after his associate, botanical collector William A. Sayer.^[10][11]
