Paphia meiniana is a plant in the Ericaceae family.[1][2]
It was first described in 1887 as Agapetes meiniana by Ferdinand von Mueller.[1][3] In 1918 Rudolf Schlechter transferred it to the genus, Paphia.[1][4]
It is endemic to north-east Queensland, growing in the wet tropics,[1] as an epiphyte in the crowns of large trees, looking much like a vine. However on rocky summits it grows as a shrub.[5]
