Podocarpus rumphii Blume

Tree 12-45 m tall, up to 35-75 cm diam. Foliage buds 2.5-4 mm long, the tips of the primary scales meeting at the apex with one or two often bent outward at the tip. Juvenile leaves 19-26 by 1.9-2.6 cm, acute or slightly acuminate. Adult leaves on smaller trees and lower branches of taller trees linear, 12-22 by 1.1-1.9 cm, acute or slightly acuminate, narrowing distinctly at the base to a 4-16 mm petiole, stiff; leaves from the exposed parts of taller trees 9-14 cm by 9-14 mm, acute, with a 4-10 mm petiole; upper side of midrib of all leaves a blunt ridge 0.7-1.2 mm wide and 0.3 mm high, often collapsing when dried to a flat surface or a small irregular ridge. Buds for pollen cones sessile. Pollen cones in groups of up to at least five, 3.5-4.5 cm long; microsporophylls somewhat elongated and tightly crowded. Receptacle frequently with a third lateral bract smaller than the other two. Seed with its covering glaucous, 12-15 by 10-12 mm.

Locally common in primary rain-forest but in rather widely separate localities, frequently on islands, in Java on limestone, usually at elevations from 5-200 metres, but sometimes up to 1,550 metres.
