Podocarpus costalis

Podocarpus Costalis is a species in the family Podocarpaceae. It is native to the Philippines and Taiwan.

This plant grows in island scrub, low forest, or in a limestone bluff or sea stack habitat, growing at elevations from sea level to nearly 300 meters. It is also widely cultivated as a garden plant. It is used in bonsai. The fruit is edible.

Overcollecting for horticulture is a threat to wild populations; it is illegal in its entire range.

Podocarpus costalis is a small, shrubby tree, usually ranging from one to five meters high. The bud is two to four millimeters in length. The plant it is often confused with P. polystachyus because of the similar habitats and leaves.

The plant is endangered largely on account of its minuscule area of occupancy of about 24 square kilometers. It can only grow on five islands or in specific locations. It is also endangered by the constant removal of mature plants for horticulture and as potted plants. This has led to a decrease in its population. The plants have been taken from the wild to be planted in gardens in Luzon and Taiwan, only increasing the rate of removal.

The plant is legally protected in countries that have it as a native species. Countries such as Taiwan and the Philippines make illegal the collection of wild plants from their natural habitat. Those interested in the plant have been advised to grow the plant by seed to avoid removing any more of the plants from their natural habitat.

Podocarpus costalis, locally known as arius, is a species of conifer in the family Podocarpaceae. It is found in the Philippines and Taiwan.

The plant can be found in low forests, island scrub, or limestone bluffs or sea stack habitats. It can grow at elevations of nearly 300m above sea level. It can also be grown as a plant for the garden. It is used in bonsai. The fruit is edible.

One threat to the survival of wild populations is overcollecting for horticulture; this practice is illegal throughout its native range.

Description

Podocarpus costalis is a small, shrubby tree, usually ranging from one to five meters high. It has bud of foliage two to four millimeters long. It is often mistaken for Polystachyus due to its similar habitats.

Conservation

The plant is endangered largely on account of its minuscule area of occupancy of about 24 square kilometers. It is limited to five islands and localities, and its growth is naturally limited to a specific habitat. It has also become endangered because of continual removal of mature plants for horticulture or as potted plants, depleting its population. The plants have been taken from the wild to be planted in gardens in Luzon and Taiwan, only increasing the rate of removal.

Countries with the plant natively have legally protected it, with countries such as the Philippines and Taiwan making the collection of the plant from the wild illegal. To avoid further damage to the plants, those interested in the plant are advised to start the seedlings.
