Corynocarpus dissimilis is a tree in the Corynocarpaceae family, growing up to about 25 m tall, and it is endemic to New Caledonia. It is a forest tree rather than a common garden or houseplant, so care advice here is general and based on its wet tropical native climate.
Corynocarpus dissimilis is a species of tree in the family Corynocarpaceae, reaching 25 metres (80 feet) in height. It is endemic to New Caledonia. It was first described by the British botanist William Hemsley in 1904. C. dissimilis is the only member of the Corynocarpus genus that is endemic to New Caledonia. C. dissimilis is most closely related to C. laevigatus and C. similis, but is distinct due to its much smaller leaves and flowers. It is common in dense forests, reaching 1,200 m (3,900 ft) above sea level at maximum elevation.
