Dacrycarpus steupii (Wassch.) De Laub.

Conical tree, 4-36 m tall, 15-100 cm diam. Leaves of primary shoots spreading slightly. Leaves of juvenile foliage shoots distichous, nearly linear, soon losing the distichous habit as the tree matures. Leaves on older trees eventually becoming nearly quadrangular in cross section, widely spreading, tapering slightly, uniform in size along a shoot, 2-3 by 0.4-0.6 mm. Involucral leaves becoming spreading, 3-4 mm long.

Locally common, particularly in disturbed forests, or in poorly drained areas where it may form nearly pure stands, in boggy grasslands and reed-swamps, on sandy clay, once on a rocky riverbank, once on a limestone hillock in mossy forest (Mt Bera-tus), 860-3420 m, but mostly c. 1500-2000 m.

Can be grown by cuttings or seedlings.
