Do we have among our many erudite Medit-planters an expert on Araucaria?
I have spotted in a local (Nedlands, Perth) garden a couple of trees
which are not quite like the ubiquitous Norfolk Island Pine (A.
heterophylla) or the Hoop Pine (A. cunninghamii), but obviously closely
related to both. The most noticeable difference is that the branchlets
are much shorter - only about 4-5cm long, but thickish. The bark seems
to peel off in sheets and the upper trunk is bare. (It's not a Monkey
Puzzle, either, I'm sure.) My bump of curiosity has received a severe
knock. I suppose I could beard the owners in their den, but I haven't
got my courage up to do this. They might not even know anyway! 

Hopefully,

Beverly
