Agathis microstachya
Also called Atherton Kauri Pine, Bull Pine, North Queensland Kauri, Queensland Kauri, Queensland Kauri Pine, Black Kauri, Black Kauri Pine
Bull kauri is a large conifer tree from the Araucaria family, native only to the Atherton Tableland in Far North Queensland, Australia. It is a rainforest tree that is grown for its timber and is threatened by habitat loss, so it is rarely cultivated as a garden plant.
Agathis microstachya, the bull kauri, is a species of conifer in the family Araucariaceae, endemic to Australia. It was described in 1918 by John Frederick Bailey and Cyril Tenison White. It is threatened by habitat loss.
It has a very restricted distribution, being almost limited to the Atherton Tableland in Far North Queensland, with its elevational range 400–900 m (1,300–3,000 ft) above sea level.
