Randia moorei

Randia moorei, commonly known as the spiny gardenia, is a rare Australian shrub growing in the far north eastern areas of the state of New South Wales and adjacent areas in Queensland. The habitat is subtropical rainforest north of Lismore.

Randia moorei was described by George Bentham in his Flora Australiensis in 1867. It is one of many plants named in honour of Charles Moore.

New South Wales botanist Gwen Harden classified it in the genus Xeromphis.
