It is an evergreen tree to about 30 m (98 ft) tall with a trunk up to 50 cm (20 in) diameter. It inhabits drier rainforest such as monsoon forest, at altitudes from sea level to 250 m (820 ft) in Australia, and 1,200 m (3,900 ft) in New Guinea. It was first described in 1863 by British botanist George Bentham.
