Pimelodendron amboinicum is a tree species in the Euphorbiaceae family. It is found from the Solomon Islands in the southwest Pacific Ocean, west to Sulawesi in Indonesia. The timber is used locally, though larger-scale illegal logging is apparent.
The tree is found in the Solomons, southwest Pacific, New Guinea, Australia and in Indonesia as far west as Sulawesi. Countries and regions where the species grows are: Solomon Islands; Papua Niugini (Bougainville, Bismarck Archipelago, mainland); Australia (Cape York Peninsula, near Lockerbie and Iron Range); Indonesia (West Papua, Maluku, Nusa Tenggara, Sulawesi); Timor.
Timber from the tree is used locally for building purposes, including for roofs, roof-trusses, posts, and pillars.
