Distribution and Ecology

Occurs in Cape York Peninsula and the wet tropics bio-region NE. Qld..
Altitudinal range from near sea level to 700 m.
Grows in gallery forest, lowland and upland rain forest.
Probably occurs in New Guinea and other parts of Malesia.
Munir (1984a) considers the name Premna limbata Benth. to be a synonym of P. serratifolia L. but we have used the name P. limbata Benth. and applied it to a large tree-top vine.
We have restricted the use of the name P. serratifolia L. to distinguish the small tree or shrub usually found on beaches or on the margins of monsoon forest or lowland rain forest.
