Araucaria cunninghamii Aiton ex A. Cunn, A. B. Lambert, Descr. Pinus ed. 3, 2 unnumbered pages (1832) (Sweet, Hort. Brit. Ed. 2:475. 1830, nom. nud.).
The small adult branches of hoop-pine or Moreton Bay-pine, commonly called "aurcuria" in the potpourri trade, bear scale-like leaves, 6-15 mm long, that are narrowly triangular, slightly curved, keeled on both sides, and crowded in spirals.
Araucaria cunninghamii is native to Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, and Australia but cultivated in the tropics.
