Endiandra montana is a large buttressed rainforest tree from New Guinea and northeast Queensland, grown mainly as a shade or forest specimen tree rather than a common houseplant. It needs a warm, humid, shaded tropical setting to thrive.
Endiandra montana, commonly known as brown walnut or montane walnut, is a species of plant in the family Lauraceae, first described in 1933. It is a large rainforest tree native to New Guinea and northeast Queensland, Australia, and has a conservation status of least concern.
In Australia, it inhabits rainforest on various soil types along the coast and adjacent ranges from the Cooktown area, south to about Cardwell, and up to about 1,300 m (4,300 ft) above sea level. In New Guinea, there are two records of collections, one each in Papua New Guinea and Western New Guinea.
