They grow naturally in rainforests, as large shrubs to understorey trees and large trees. They grow naturally in New Guinea, the centre of diversity, in New Britain, New Ireland (island), New Ireland, Vanuatu, Sulawesi, Maluku Islands, Moluccas, and in Australia, where botanists have formally described five species endemic to the Wet Tropics of Queensland, Wet Tropics rainforests of northeastern Queensland. Some species have uses for their fruits as food and, although not yet well known, some have popularity in cultivation, for example in Brisbane.
