In the Australian mainland north-eastern Queensland regions of the Wet Tropics, Cape York Peninsula and just to their east the continent’s offshore islands, they are recorded as growing naturally widespread, from about Ingham–Hinchinbrook Island northwards, in remaining well developed lowland tropical rainforests, below ca. {{Convert|100|m|ft|abbr=on}} altitude.[8][11]
Full grown trees may reach up to {{Convert|30|–|40|m|ft|-1|abbr=on}} tall.[7][11]
Formal description of some trees found in Fiji, using this species name, was published in 1854 by botanist Asa Gray, effectively describing this species of all of these trees across the western Pacific region.[[2]]
