The sole species is Cuttsia viburnea (Native Elderberry), which is native to rainforests in New South Wales and Queensland in Australia. Other common names include Cuttsia, Elderberry, Honey Bush, and Native Hydrangea.[1]

The genus and species were first formally described by botanist Ferdinand von Mueller in 1865 in Fragmenta Phytographiae Australiae [2]

Cuttsia viburnea grows up to 15 metres in height and has toothed leaves with pointed tips that are 8 to 20 cm long and 2 to 6.5 cm wide. The white flowers occur in panicles, followed by rounded fruits that are 3-4 mm long.[1]
