Araucaria biramulata in Blue Mountains Botanic Garden
Araucaria biramulata (Biramule araucaria) is a species of conifer in the Araucariaceae family. It is found only in New Caledonia on the main island of Grande Terre. Araucaria biramulata is a medium-large tree reaching 30 meters in height.[1] As with several other endemic New Caledonian araucaria species, it is threatened by habitat loss with a fragmented wild population of less than 10,000 mature trees, and ongoing decline in remaining populations, with the main threats being forest fires and mining activities.[2]
