araucaria

Araucaria, a genus of trees of the coniferous or pine order, indigenous to Australasia and South America.

Araucaria, or Norfolk Island Pine, is now sold in pots by florists as a window plant.

These are uniformly three times the natural size, except the section of Araucaria imbricata, which is not increased in scale.

In this neighbourhood, the Araucanian pine (Araucaria imbricata) is found, but very few of the trees grow near the sea.

In Araucaria and Saxegothaea the nucellus itself projects beyond the open micropyle and receives the pollen-grains direct.
