Dacrycarpus cumingii (Banahaw Igem) is a species of conifer in the family Podocarpaceae. It is found in Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines .
Dacrycarpus cumingii is an evergreen tree that can grow from 8 - 25 metres tall. The bole can be 18 - 75cm in diameter.The tree is harvested from the wild for its wood, which is traded, mainly locally.
Logging and deforestation are very likely to have reduced the area of occupancy and abundance of this species where it occurred at lower altitudes, though data are unavailable to estimate the extent of this decline. Mostly, it occurs at elevations and in forest types which have been less affected, therefore the decline probably does not not exceed 20% over the past three generations.
The plant is classified as 'Least Concern' in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species(2013)
