Candelabra Tree (Araucaria angustifolia)
(Bertoloni, 1819) |
Synonyms: Araucaria brasiliana, Araucaria dioica, Araucaria ridolfiana, (see The Plant List for more synonyms), Brazilian Araucaria, Paraná pine, Brazilian pine |
Araucaria angustifolia occurs in southern Brazil (mainly in Paraná, Santa Catarina, Rio Grande do Sul, and locally in São Paulo, Minas Gerais and Rio de Janeiro), and the adjacent parts of northeastern Argentina (Misiones and Corrientes) and Paraguay. It grows on acidic soils in upland forests and savannas at 500-2,300 m asl. This species is currently restricted to ca. 3% of its former range, having lost the rest to logging, agriculture, and silviculture. This is an evergreen tree growing to 40 m in height and 1 m dbh. The leaves are thick, triangular, 3-6 cm long. The mature seed cones are large, 18-25 cm; the nut-like seeds are dispersed by small mammals and birds.
