[2][1] Endospermum macrophyllum is a small tree, growing to 15 metres in height, with flowers and fruits observed throughout the year.

[1] Endospermum macrophyllum grows in dense forests from sea level to 900 metres elevation, where it is locally abundant.

[1] It is a characteristic canopy tree of montane rain forests on windy slopes from 400 to 600 meters elevation.

[1] Endospermum macrophyllum is harvested for its timber, which is used for construction and more frequently for banana crates.

[1] Although it is harvested for timber, the species is generally abundant and there are protections in place to prevent its decline, so the IUCN does not consider it threatened.
