The Upas tree, known scientifically as Antiaris toxicaria, is primarily found in the tropical rainforests of Southeast Asia, including the Philippines. In the Philippines, it can be located in various regions, particularly in areas like Palawan and Mindanao, where lush forest ecosystems provide the necessary conditions for its growth. It thrives in lowland tropical forests, often near riverbanks and in well-drained soils. However, due to deforestation and habitat loss, its populations are becoming increasingly limited.
