Hicksbeachia pilosa is a small tree in the family Proteaceae.[1] This rare species grows naturally only (endemic) in the rainforests of the wet tropics region of north eastern Queensland, Australia.[2] It was first described in 1988 by Australian botanist Peter H. Weston, after a collection by Garry Sankowsky and Peter Hind in 1986 at Bobbin Bobbin Falls in North Queensland.[1][3] Its specific name is the Latin adjective pilosus "hairy".
Hicksbeachia pilosa is found in rainforest from the Big Tableland to the Cardwell Range in northeastern Queensland.
