Podocarpus costalis, locally known as arius,[2] is a species of conifer in the family Podocarpaceae. It is native to the Philippines and Taiwan.[1]
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.[3] It is also widely cultivated as a garden plant.[1] It is used in bonsai.[1] The fruit is edible.[2]
One threat to the survival of wild populations is overcollecting for horticulture; this practice is illegal throughout its native range.[1]
