Agathis ovata
Agathis ovata, the mountain kauri or scrub kauri, is a species of conifer in the family Araucariaceae. It is endemic to the southwest Pacific island of New Caledonia, where it occurs mainly toward the southeastern end of the island, but with two small isolated populations further northwest. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Agathis ovata is found in montane scrubland or in forests, although it requires a high level of rainfall so is generally restricted to between 150 and 1000 metres. Agathis were once found worldwide, although species such as this are now becoming very restricted. Agathis ovata is at a high risk of extinction from logging of tall forest trees and mining activities which clear its habitat.
