Osbornia is a monotypic genus of mangrove in the myrtle family Myrtaceae.[4] The sole species is Osbornia octodonta, commonly known as the myrtle mangrove, which inhabits coastal areas of Borneo, the Philippines , the Lesser Sunda Islands. the Northern Territory, Queensland, and northern Western Australia.[2] It was first described in 1862 by Ferdinand von Mueller, based on material collected in Trinity Bay.[5] who published the description in his tome Fragmenta Phytographiæ Australiæ.[5] It is usually found on the landward side of mangrove forests.[6]
