Finschia is a genus of four recognised species of large trees, constituting part of the plant family Proteaceae. They grow naturally in New Guinea and its surrounding region, in habitats from lowland rainforests to steep highland forests.
==Description== Members of the genus Finschia are trees which grow up to 35 m (115 ft) tall. They often have large stilt roots growing out from up the trunk, sometimes from as high up as 1.8 m (6 ft) off the ground. Leaves are simple and entire with straight, pinnate, parallel veins collected by a looped intermarginal vein.
