Default nuts from Araucaria

Stewart Robert Hinsley schreef
The best known South American Araucaria is the Chile Pine or Monkey

Puzzle, which I thought was A. araucana, but IPNI doesn't seem to agree
with this. This does extend into Argentina.

A list of Araucaria names can be obtained from the following URL at IPNI

(International Plant Name Index).

A list of current conifer names is at
http://www.rhs.org.uk/research/regis...s_accepted.asp

The implication of the following page at the University of Bonn is that

there's just the one species in Argentina.

Quite. There are three Cupressacae down the
Fitzroya, Austrocedrus and Pilgerodendron but these have
winged seeds.
Another conifer is Saxegothaea, with seeds up to 3mm wide
Of course the seeds in question are not necessarily of a conifer?
