Agathis robusta (Kauri Pine, Dundathu Pine, Smooth-barked Kauri)

(Agathis palmerstonii)

This coniferous tree is native to Papua New Guinea and Queensland in Australia. It has been in the plant trade since 1862 and has not become naturalised outside its native range. It is naturalised overseas in the USA and India according to one source, but is not regarded as invasive anywhere in the world. It is an evergreen tree that produces cones bearing green seeds. The fruits disintegrate at maturity to release the seeds.
