Callitris monticola, commonly known as the steelhead or dwarf cypress (a name it shares with several other plants), is a species of conifer in the family Cupressaceae. It is found only in Australia , occurring in the states of Queensland and New South Wales and is considered vulnerable due to its restricted distribution.[2]

This species is monoecious, with female cones occurring solitarily or in clusters. The cones are egg shaped to spherical, measuring 15-20 millimeters in diameter, with each scale having a dorsal protuberance near the apex of the cone.[4]
