Agathis endertii is a species of conifer tree, in the Araucariaceae family.

Distribution

It is found on the island of Borneo, in Brunei, the Kalimantan section of Indonesia, and the Sabah section of Malaysia.

Although widespread, Agathis endertii is found in isolated populations within moist lowland Kerangas forest around sandstone Kerangas.

Conservation

It is threatened by habitat loss. Some of its threats include logging, for its timber is heavily exploited and often used in place of other Agathis and Araucaria species.
