Range Description: Widely distributed from southern China (Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan, Yunan), Viet Nam, Lao PDR and Cambodia, Malaysia (Sarawak) and in Indonesia (Moluccas, Sulawesi, Papua (Irian Jaya)), Philippines and Papua New Guinea (including the Bismarck Islands). The extent of occurrence and area of occupancy are beyond the thresholds for any threatened category.

Population [top]
Population: In Vietnam, subpopulations are reported to be small. In other parts of its range (e.g. Cambodia) it may be locally common or co-dominant at the margins of swamps and bogs.
Current Population Trend: Unknown
Additional data:
? Continuing decline of mature individuals: Unknown
? Extreme fluctuations: No ? Population severely fragmented: No
Habitat and Ecology [top]
Habitat and Ecology: A small shrub to large tree which occurs in montane forests (often mossy forest) and in low scrub on exposed mountain ridges and summits. Generally associated with higher altitude swampy areas either on limestone or sandstone substrates, especially where these are close to the surface. On the island of New Guinea it may be associated with Southern Beech (Nothofagus) forests. Recorded from 700 up to 3,300 m asl.
Systems: Terrestrial
Continuing decline in area, extent and/or quality of habitat: Yes
Use and Trade [top]
Use and Trade: Not usually utilized due to the remoteness of it habitat and small stature. But larger trees would be logged for their timber for use in construction.
Threats [top]
Major Threat(s): In some parts of its range, its area of occupancy has been reduced due to deforestation. In most parts there are no specific threats.
Conservation Actions [top]
Conservation Actions: Nationally listed as Vulnerable in Viet Nam due to habitat loss and as Near Threatened in China (under the name of Podocarpus wangii). In other parts of its range, it is known from large protected areas such as Bokor National Park and Phnom Samkos Wildlife Sanctuary in Cambodia.
