"Juglans californica" is generally found in the southern California Coast Ranges, Transverse Ranges, and Peninsular Ranges, and the Central Valley.

Some native stands remain in urban Los Angeles in the Santa Monica Mountains and Hollywood Hills.
Green tree python with large-scale smuggling of wild-caught green tree pythons in Indonesia. Despite this, the green tree python is rated as least concern on the IUCN Red List of endangered species. German naturalist Hermann Schlegel described the green tree python in 1872 as "Python viridis", from two specimens collected in the Aru Islands of Indonesia. His countryman Adolf Bernhard Meyer erected the genus "Chondropython" (though recognised similarity to "Morelia") and described the green tree python as "Chondropython azureus" in 1874, from a specimen collected in "Kordo", later determined to be Korido on Biak Island. This was destroyed in World War II. French
