About

Where it grows

Dendroconche species are native to eastern Australia, parts of Indonesia, New Guinea, New Caledonia, the Solomon Islands and New Zealand. D. linguiforme is widespread, and appears to have escaped from cultivation in India. The other species have narrow distributions. Species are found in rain forests at low to middle elevations.
