Podocarpus globulus

Podocarpus globulus is a species of conifer in the family Podocarpaceae. It is endemic to Borneo, where there are only four known subpopulations, found in Sabah and on the Sabahan border with Sarawak, although it may have undiscovered populations elsewhere in these states or in neighbouring Kalimantan. [1]

Podocarpus globulus grows in lower to middle montane rain forests, and on ridges and summits in lowland and hill forests where the forest is not dominated by dipterocarps, between 310 and 1,530 meters elevation. It also grows in some areas with ultrabasic soil. [1]

<i>Podocarpus</i> Genus of conifers in the family Podocarpaceae

Podocarpus is a genus of conifers, the most numerous and widely distributed of the podocarp family, the Podocarpaceae. The name comes from Greek πούς + καρπός. Podocarpus species are evergreen shrubs or trees, usually from 1 to 25 m tall, known to reach 40 m (130 ft) at times. The cones have two to five fused cone scales, which form a fleshy, berry-like, brightly coloured receptacle at maturity. The fleshy cones attract birds, which then eat the cones and disperse the seeds in their droppings. About 97 to 107 species are placed in the genus depending on the circumscription of the species.
