About

Falcatifolium gruezoi is a species of conifer in the family Podocarpaceae, native to the Philippines, Obi in the Maluku Islands, and Sulawesi.

It is often associated with the conifers Agathis borneensis, Nageia wallichiana, and Sundacarpus amarus. It is threatened with habitat loss from deforestation, particularly in the Philippines. The IUCN Red List assesses the species as Near Threatened.
