Dacrycarpus steupii can grow up to the average height of about 35 m, but it is common to see them stunted in growth. The outer bark is black to dark brown while the inner bark is reddish brown to pink. The bark also peels of in small flakes. The male flowers cannot be seen. Female cones can be found on long, elongate leaves. The needles on the branches are widespread.[2]

Location and range

It is found only in Indonesia. In Kalimantan, Dacrycarpus steupii was known from a population near Balikpapan that is now extinct. It is possible that it is widespread through New Guinea in the Latimodjong Mountains.[1]
