Araucaria heterophylla


Palikea, O'ahu

NORFOLK ISLAND PINE

Rare on slopes & ridges, sparingly planted for reforestation or as an ornamental.  Conical in habit with a ragged appearance.  Branchlets drooping, curved needles bristle-like, bark peeling as small scales.  Endemic to Norfolk Island where it is imperiled.  Often confused with the ubiquitous Cook Pine, Araucaria columnaris.
