Podocarpus brassii var. humilis
Content
Distribution
Asia-Tropical: New Guinea present, Vogelkop Peninsula absent
Malesia: New Guinea (except Vogelkop Peninsula). .
Notes
Definitely not a stunted alpine form, being found at lower elevations than the other (larger) variety which actually occurs as a tree in the alpine scrub at or near the tree line. Only the pollen cone and the prostrate habit that often develops distinguish the two varieties so that herbarium specimens cannot always be assigned with confidence to their proper variety.
