About

Wollemia nobilis is a species of coniferous tree in the family Araucariaceae. It is the single known species in the monotypic genus Wollemia. The species represents one of only three living genera in the family, alongside Araucaria and Agathis, which was discovered in 1994 in a temperate rainforest wilderness area of the Wollemi National Park in New South Wales. It was growing in a remote series of narrow, steep-sided, sandstone gorges 150 km (93 mi) north-west of Sydney. The genus is named after the National Park.
