Origin

States and Territories Australia and the island of New Guinea (both Papua New Guinea and Irian Jaya). Coastal Queensland, in scattered populations from near Cape York south to New South Wales (Dorrigo Plateau) or c. 30° S; also in the highlands of New Guinea (incl. Ferguson & Japen Islands) from the Owen Stanley Range to the Bird's Head Peninsula, but especially abundant in the central highlands. Maps for the distribution in Australia (var. cunninghamii) are given by Hill (1998: map 495) and Golte (1993: f. 15). For New Guinea (var. papuana) maps are presented by Howcroft (1978a: map 1) and de Laubenfels (1988: f. 68); Golte (1993: f. 16) provides a more detailed distribution map for Papua New Guinea only, based on data collected by Gray (1973). Locality data based on herbarium collections seen by us are insufficient to present an adequate map of the distribution of this species.; Papuasia; Irian Jaya; Papua New Guinea; Australia; New South Wales; Queensland
