Where it grows wild

Not documented in the sources available. Rhaphidophora are root-climbing lianes of rainforest, and in New South Wales rainforest is concentrated in the subtropical north-east, so it most likely climbs trunks in humid, sheltered forest there.

Unknown; a lowland to low-montane rainforest plant is assumed.
