Araucaria bidwillii , is a conifer of sort Araucaria , of the family Araucariaceae . She is a native of southeastern Queensland. It grows up to 50 m in height and is also known as bunya pine.
The bunya pine is the last survivor of the Bunya section of the genus Araucaria . This section was diverse and extensive during the Mesozoic. It is estimated that A. bidwilli appeared during the Jurassic period.
It has a limited distribution within Australia, caused in part by the degradation of wetlands due to the progressive desiccation of the continent accompanied by the difficulty of the seed for dispersal.
The cone-shaped fruits are elongated, hard-shell and nutritious, falling intact under the tree before the seeds come out. The seed may take 3–6 months to germinate and the root does not begin to grow until after one year.
