Alectryon connatus, sometimes named hairy alectryon, is a species of small tree in the plant family Sapindaceae.
They grow naturally in Australia, in eastern Queensland from the south-east to northernmost Cape York Peninsula,[2][3] Western Australia, perhaps in north-eastern New South Wales,[3] and in New Guinea.[4][5][6][7] They grow in littoral rainforests, vine thickets, tropical monsoon forests (seasonal rainforests) and similar vegetation assemblages, in the lowlands. In the tropical uplands they are recorded up to 800 m (2,600 ft) altitude.[2][3]
