Sankowskya is a genus of plants. The sole known species, Sankowskya stipularis, is a tree endemic to one locality in the Wet Tropics rainforests of northeastern Queensland, Australia. [1] [2] [3] [4] The species constitutes part of the plant family Picrodendraceae. [1] [2] [3] Few botanical collections have ever been made of the trees, from a very restricted area of the Wet Tropics rainforests, hence the species has obtained the conservation status of "endangered" in the legislative regulation of the Queensland Government's Nature Conservation Act 1992. [3] [5] Notably, trees grow naturally in the Thylogale Nature Refuge. [1]
