Cyathea dicksonioides is a species of tree fern native to northeastern New Guinea where it grows in grassland at an altitude of 2600-2900 m. It is a relatively uncommon species. The erect trunk may be 3 m tall or more and about 20 cm in diameter. Fronds are bi- or tripinnate and approximately 1 m long. They are erect and bristly forming an irregular crown. The fronds occur in two whorls of 10-12 fronds each with the inner of the two whorls bending downward towards the trunk.
