Dacrycarpus cumingii (Parl.) De Laub.

Tree, 8-25 m tall, up to 18-75 cm diam. Leaves of primary shoots spreading slightly, often curved so that the apex is directed inward slightly towards the axis. Leaves of juvenile foliage shoots distichous, nearly linear. Leaves of older trees similar but mostly not distichous, often more robust and scarcely keeled on the lateral faces, 3-6 by 0.6-0.8 mm. In addition to primary shoots and purely foliage shoots there are intermediate shoots with leaves 2-3 mm long, strongly keeled on four sides, but distinctly bilaterally flattened. The intermediate shoots bear foliage shoots and fertile shoots but are caducous like the foliage shoots and unlike the primary shoots. Pollen cones usually normal but on one specimen from low elevation up to 4 cm long. Involucral leaves greatly elongated resembling the foliage leaves but curved, not straight, 7-13 mm long, completely surrounding the developing fertile structure which scarcely surpasses them when fully mature. Ripe receptacle reddish.

Locally common from 1000 to 3314 m, but mostly between 1850 and 2650 m in mossy primary forest. Locally it occurs above D. imbricatus most of whose varieties do not enter the mossy forest.

Can be grown by cuttings or seedlings.
