About

Phyllocladus hypophyllus is a species of conifer in the family Podocarpaceae. It is a tree native to Borneo (Brunei, Indonesia, and Malaysia), Sulawesi and the Maluku Islands (Indonesia), the Philippines, and New Guinea (Indonesia and Papua New Guinea).

Phyllocladus hypophyllus grows in tropical evergreen hill, montane, and subalpine rainforests from (310) 600 to 3,400 (4,000) meters elevation. At lower elevations it grows as a large canopy tree, in mixed broadleaf-conifer forests with species of Podocarpaceae, Fagaceae, and Lauraceae, and in kerangas forests on white sandstone-derived and nutrient-poor sand with other conifers including Agathis.
