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.

There they grow on soils built from granite parent materials. Description Mature trees have fluted trunks and grow to tall. The leaves occur opposite each other, when new have dense rusty hairs all over them which persist on the underside and the top midrib, and measure .
