Species of Podocarpus

Halocarpus
The genus includes three closely related species of evergreen trees and shrubs, all endemic to New Zealand.
Nageia
Nageia are evergreen trees and shrubs which are all conifers. They are all native to tropical and subtropical South and Southeast Asia. These trees can typically be found growing individually in mixed forests rather than growing together in stands. They produce a yellow wood that provides useful lumber.
Dacrydium
Dacrydium are a group of evergreen trees and shrubs that grow in humid, subtropical regions throughout Asia and Malesia. One species, known as Rimu in New Zealand, was harvested locally for its wood until it became threatened, and is now under government protection.
Manoao
Lepidothamnus
Yellowwood
Prumnopitys
Dacrycarpus
Dacrycarpus are coniferous evergreen trees and shrubs. They are mainly found in Southeast Asia and Oceania, with some species being endemic to island ecosystems such as New Zealand. Certain species are well-known for their distinctly odorless wood that was used to create packaging for products such as butter.
Plum pines
Plum piness are a group of coniferous, evergreen trees and shrubs that, while often referred to colloquially as 'pines', are not the same as true pines (genus Pinus). Plum piness can reach a height of up to 40 meters. Many handsome species within this genus are grown ornamentally in parks or gardens.
Retrophyllum
Retrophyllum contains five generally recognized extant species with a disjunct distribution in the Southern Hemisphere, found in Papuasia and also in South America. Retrophyllum are evergreen trees. They range in size from dwarfed to very large, reaching heights in excess of 40 m and potentially 60 m. The leaf blade varies in shape from lanceolate to narrowly ovate. Retrophyllum are dioecious with male pollen cones and female seed cones on separate individual trees. The female seed cones are often solitary but may also be paired. The epimatium becomes fleshy and drupe-like at maturity. It varies in shape from elliptic to ovoid or pyriform and may be red, violet or purplish brown in color.
