Pennantia endlicheri, Norfolk Island brown beech, is a shrub or small tree from the moist forests of Norfolk Island, rarely grown outside its native range. It is endangered in the wild, and its key care need is consistently moist, sheltered conditions.
Pennantia endlicheri, also known as Norfolk Island brown beech, is a flowering plant in the Pennantiaceae family. It is endemic to the Australian external territory of Norfolk Island in the south-west Pacific Ocean. It was originally described in 1842 by Austrian botanist Siegfried Reissek.
The trees occur in sheltered moist palm valley forest, moist upland hardwood forest and pine-hardwood ridge forest, mainly in the Norfolk Island National Park. Threats include competition with invasive weeds and seed predation by rodents. The species' conservation status has been assessed as Endangered.
