Notes. Seringia impressa is distributed in Queensland from near Mareeba (latitude 16° 50’ S) to Biggenden (latitude 25° 40’ S), and a single specimen from near Grafton in north-eastern New South Wales (latitude 29° 40’ S) was cited by Wilkins & Whitlock (2016).

The epithet is from the Latin impressus and refers to the strongly impressed venation on the upper leaf surface in this species.
