Botanists have formally described two species, both endemic to restricted areas of the Wet Tropics rainforests of northeastern Queensland.[2][3][4][7][8]
Both species have official recognition of at risk of extinction in the wild.[9]

- Peripentadenia mearsii (C.T.White) L.S.Sm.[1] Buff or Grey Quandong – endemic to a restricted area of the Wet Tropics rainforests[4][5][7]
- Synonym and base name: Actephila mearsii C.T.White
- Queensland government official "near threatened" species conservation status.[9]: 73
- Peripentadenia phelpsii B.Hyland & Coode[5] – endemic to a very restricted part of the rainforests of the Mossman area of the Wet Tropics[4][8]
