Agathis corbassonii de Laub. |
Agathis corbassonii is a species of Agathis, endemic to New Caledonia, where it occurs scattered throughout the north and centre of the island at altitudes of 300-700 m. It is threatened by habitat loss.
It is a medium-sized to large evergreen tree growing to 40 m tall. The leaves are in decussate opposite pairs, 4.5-7 cm long (up to 11 cm long on young plants) and 6-11 mm broad. The cones are globose, 10 cm diameter, and disintegrate at maturity to release the winged seeds.
