Actinodaphne campanulata is an endangered tree native to the Western Ghats of Southern India, found specifically in the Agasthyamalai Mountains at elevations of 1,000–1,300m.[2] It is a critically threatened species due to habitat destruction from forest fires, cattle grazing, conversion of land for plantations, and logging for firewood. The species is distributed across several districts in Kerala and Tamil Nadu. Its native habitat is the wet tropical biome, where it flowers and fruits from February to June.
