Range and habitat
Elaeocarpus inopinatus is known only from Marai Parai, a plateau on the northwestern side of Mount Kinabalu. It grows in scrubby forest over ultramafic rock between 1,500 and 1,700 meters elevation. The species' estimated area of occupancy (AOO) and extent of occurrence (EOO) are both 4 km.
The species' habitat is protected in Kinabalu Park, and its habitat and population are not declining. Its limited range makes the species vulnerable to hazards like fire, drought, and landslide.
