Gossia pubiflora is a species of plant in the family Myrtaceae[1] that is endemic to coastal central east Queensland. It is a shrub or small tree that grows to a height of 1 to 6 m (3 ft 3 in to 19 ft 8 in) tall.[2]
The species was first described in 1939 as Myrtus floribunda by C.T. White,[3][4] but was reassigned to the genus, Gossia, in 2003 by Neil Snow, Gordon Guymer and Sawvel.[3][5]
