Cyathea brevipinna is a species of tree fern endemic to the higher parts of Mount Gower (875 m) on Lord Howe Island where it grows in exposed areas at an altitude of about 790 m. The trunk is erect and may reach 3 m in height. It is often covered with reddish brown scales and stipe bases. This species may produce stolons at ground level. Fronds are tripinnate densely crowded and up to about 3 m long. The stipe is brown and sometimes warty after scales fall off.
