Meiogyne heteropetala, commonly known as orange annona, is a species of plants in the custard apple family Annonaceae. It is native to coastal areas of Queensland, Australia, from near Cairns in the north to about Maryborough. It is a shrub or small tree growing in drier types of rainforest and monsoon forest at altitudes up to 100 m (330 ft). It was first described in 1862 as Uvaria heteropetala, and in 2014 it was moved to the genus Meiogyne.[3][5][6]
The Queensland Herbarium treats this as Fitzalania heteropetala.[1]
