I have a few of these. Not that this concerns you in Sri Lanka but it is an extraordinarily cold hardy plant considering that it is from PNG. I had seedlings survive a bad winter for here. Got down to 1 and were protected under shadecloth. They didn't get any damage at all from winter. Reasonably quick growing as well. It is a species of incredible potential for temperate areas that is very under utilised but given they are from PNG I imagine they would be great for subtropics and tropics as well.

I have one, too. It's about 15 feet (5 M) tall under one of my Pritchardtias.

It keeps trying to seed, so far, nothing. But it blooms.

Its a really exciting prospect. I wonder how other PNG highland things would go in the temperate zone. I am wondering about Ptychococcus.
