{{Inc| Agathis (agathis, glome; the flowers in clusters). Pinacex. Tender Australian dioecious conifers, allied to Araucaria, yielding dammar resin. Leaves coriaceous, not needle-like, usually broad, petioled or almost sessile, opposite or alternate: cones axillary, ovate or globular, composed of persistent, bractless scales. Distinguished from pines and firs by the broad-parallel-veined lvs.—Not uncommon in botanic garden collections where they are grown in the temperate house. }} {{otheruses}} {{Taxobox | color = lightgreen | name = ''Agathis'' | image = Kauri Te Matua Ngahere.jpg | image_width = 250px | image_caption = ''[[Agathis australis]]'' (New Zealand Kauri) | regnum = [[Plant]]ae | divisio = [[Pinophyta]] | classis = [[Pinophyta|Pinopsida]] | ordo = [[Pinales]] | familia = [[Araucariaceae]] | genus = '''''Agathis''''' | genus_authority = [[Richard Anthony Salisbury|Salisb.]] | subdivision_ranks = Species | subdivision = See text }} The genus '''''Agathis''''', commonly known as '''kauri''' or '''dammar''', forms a relatively small group of 21 species of [[evergreen]] [[tree]]s in the family [[Araucariaceae]], characteristically with very large trunks and little or no branching for some way up. Young trees are normally conical in shape, only upon maturity does the crown become more rounded or irregularly shaped. [[Image:AgathisRobusta01MelbourneBotanicGardens.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Bark of ''Agathis robusta'' at Melbourne Royal Botanic Gardens (leaves belong to another plant)]] The [[bark]] is smooth and light grey to grey-brown usually peeling into irregular flakes that become thicker on more mature trees. The branch structure is often horizontal or when larger, becoming more ascending. The lowest branches often leave circular branch scars as they fall off from the lower trunk. The [[juvenile (organism)|juvenile]] [[leaves]] in all species are larger than the [[adult]], more or less acute, varying among the species from ovate to lanceolate. Adult leaves are opposite, [[elliptical]] to [[linear]], and very leathery and quite thick. Young leaves are often a coppery-red, contrasting markedly with the usually green or glaucous-green foliage of the previous season. The [[male]] [[pollen]] [[Conifer cone|cones]] appear usually only on larger trees after [[seed]] cones have appeared. The [[female]] seed cones usually develop on short lateral branchlets, maturing after two years. They are normally oval or [[globe]] shaped. The trees are the source of [[Dammar Gum]]. Seeds of some species are attacked by the [[caterpillars]] of one of the most primitive of all living moths, [[Agathiphaga]]. ==Species list== *''[[Agathis atropurpurea]]'' - Black Kauri, Blue Kauri ([[Queensland]], [[Australia]]) *''[[Agathis australis]]'' - Kauri, New Zealand Kauri ([[North Island]], [[New Zealand]]) *''[[Agathis borneensis]]'' - (western [[Malesia]], [[Borneo]]) *''[[Agathis corbassonii]]'' - Red Kauri ([[New Caledonia]]) *''[[Agathis dammara]]'' (syn.

The wood is commonly used in the manufacture of budget-priced [[guitar]]s. It is also used for some [[Go (board game)|Go]] boards ([[goban]]). ==External links== *[http://www.agathis.info/ Systematics of ''Agathis''] *[http://www.conifers.org/ar/ag/index.html Gymnosperm Database: ''Agathis''] {{commonscat|Agathis}} [[Category:Araucariaceae]] [[Category:Flora of Indonesia]]
