Hollandaea is a small genus of plants in the family Proteaceae containing four species of Australian rainforest trees. All four species are endemic to restricted areas of the Wet Tropics of northeast Queensland.
==Naming and classification== The genus was formally described in an 1887 publication by German–Australian government botanist Ferdinand von Mueller, who named it in honour of Sir Henry Holland, Secretary of State for the Colonies from 1888 to 1892.
