Irvingbaileya is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Stemonuraceae.[1] It is a dioecious tree.[2]

There is only one species, Irvingbaileya australis, endemic to Queensland, Australia.[2][1]

The genus name of Irvingbaileya is in honour of Irving Widmer Bailey (1884–1967), an American botanist known for his work in plant anatomy,[3] and the Latin specific epithet of australis means coming from the Australia.

The genus was first described and published in Brittonia Vol.5 on page 50 in 1943.[1] Also the species was first described and published by Cyril Tenison White in Lloydia Vol.6 on page 143 in 1943.[4]
