Brown pine (Podocarpus neriifolius) is a conifer tree native to wet tropical forests from Nepal across Southeast Asia to Malesia, usually 10 to 15 m tall. It is grown mainly as a timber or ornamental tree in warm, moist conditions, with the key to success being steady moisture and a frost-free climate.
Podocarpus neriifolius, commonly known as the Jati Brown pine, is a species of conifer in the family Podocarpaceae. It is native to Nepal, eastern India, and Bangladesh through parts of Indochina (Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam) and Malesia (Peninsular Malaysia, Sumatra, Borneo, Sulawesi, and the Philippines).
Previously, the species was thought to range eastwards as far as Fiji. David J. de Laubenfels identified the eastern populations from New Guinea to Fiji as a separate species, Podocarpus idenburgensis, distinguished by narrow, acute leaves.
