WI_nw056a.jpg

Location: Royal Botanic Gardens. The wollemi pine is in fact no pine, but a member of the Araucariaceae family of plants. The genus was only known from fossil records until 1994 when some small stands were discovered in a remote gorge of the Wollemi National Park in the Blue Mountains.
