A 'living fossil', remains of Araucaria date
back to the Triassic, about 230 million years
ago. Today it survives in the wild in isolated
areas of the Southern Hemisphere, although
it formerly had a worldwide distribution.
However, it is widely planted as the
ornamental species Araucaria araucana, or
the monkey-puzzle tree. Tall and elegant, it
bears arc-like horizontal branches covered'
in small, tough,
spiny, scale-like
leaves.
