'''''Falcatifolium''''' is a [[genus]] of [[conifer]]s of the family [[Podocarpaceae]]. The genus includes [[evergreen]] [[Plant sexuality|dioecious]]  [[shrub]]s and large [[tree]]s of up to {{convert|36|m|ft}}. Five species are presently recognized. The genus was first described by de Laubenfels in 1969, and is composed of species formerly classified in genus ''[[Dacrydium]]''.

Genus ''Facatifolium'' ranges from [[New Caledonia]] to the [[Malay Peninsula]], including [[New Guinea]], the [[Indonesia]]n islands of [[Sulawesi]], [[Borneo]], and the [[Obi Islands|Obi]] and [[Riau Islands]], and the [[Philippines|Philippine]] island of [[Mindoro]].

''[[Falcatifolium taxoides]]'' from New Caledonia is the exclusive host of the ''[[Parasitaxus usta]]'', the only known parasitic [[gymnosperm]].
