	Agathis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The genus Agathis, commonly known as kauri or dammar, forms a relatively small group of 21 species of evergreen trees in the family Araucariaceae, characteristically with very large trunks and little or no branching for some way up.
		Agathis australis - Kauri, New Zealand Kauri (North Island, New Zealand)
		Various species of kauri give diverse resins such as kauri copal and Manilla copal, as well as timber, which is straight-grained and of fine quality.

	Agathis description
		These analyses have been based largely on morphology of the pollen cone and leaf cuticle, as foliar morphology is highly variable and female cones, which disintegrate upon drying, are seldom preserved (Whitmore 1980).
		Agathis is Greek for a ball of thread, an allusion to the globose female cone.
		Based on data from several wide-ranging species, Agathis participates in vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizae; one associate is the phycomycete Endogone (Whitmore 1977).

		Pieces of permanently joined, 2 1/8 inch thick Agathis wood (placed side-by-side) make this a good-looking and affordable board that will stand up to a lifetime of enjoyment.
		Agathis has a pleasing dark grain and coloring on the sides, and a light color wash finish on top provides a perfect easy-on-the-eyes background conducive to serious Go-playing.
		The dimensions of the Agathis table board are approximately 16 1/2" by 17 3/4", 2 1/8" inch thick.

	Systematics of Agathis
		Agathis ovata in mist, 900 m altitude, upper valley of the Koéalagoguamba, Monts Dzumac, New Caledonia
		Agathis is a genus of tropical conifers which belongs to the Araucariaceae, the same family as the monkey-puzzles and Cook-pines (Araucaria) and the Wollemi Pine (Wollemia).
		Agathis trees are usually huge trees of lowland rain forests, though some grow in mossy forests on mountain tops, and another (as above) grows as low candelabra-like forms in low maquis minier scrubland.

		Agathis trees occur gregariously and are locally abundant in Sarawak Malaysia, often forming dense and nearly pure stands in many locations.The timber is light in weight and is classified as softwood, not because the wood is soft, but because it belongs to a taxonomic group of gymnosperm.
		Agathis trees occur as large and emergent trees reaching up to 85m in height and 1.Sm in diameter.
		The Agathis tree is known by a variety of vernacular names in many parts of Malaysia.

	Agathis dammara description (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		The profusion of names reflects this species' importance in the copal trade (see Ethnobotany section of Agathis); early botanists were apt to collect this economically important tree, and a plethora of names were assigned on the basis of what are now seen as minor variations in foliage characters.
		At that time, "logs are in great demand in Australia as peelers for plywood factories, and command high prices; supplies are limited and most of the available stands have been worked out in the past ten years."

	Go (board game) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		More recently, the California Torreya (Torreya californica) has been prized for its light color and pale rings.
		Other woods often used to make quality table boards include Hiba (Thujopsis dolabrata), Katsura (Cercidiphyllum japonicum), and Kauri (Agathis).
		It is important to note that so-called "Shin Kaya" is a merchant's term which, while it may not deceive Asian buyers, does confuse Americans; the term shin means "new" (as in shinbun, "newspaper"), so "shin kaya" is best translated "faux kaya" - and indeed the woods so described are biologically unrelated to Kaya.

	Collecting Agathis specimens
		Character (ii) separates Agathis from Nageia (which like all other Podocarpaceae has pointy growing tips).
		In the Araucariaceae, mature female cones shatter in the canopy, so the taxonomy of the genus is based almost entirely on characters of the pollen cone and the constituent microsporophylls.
		Shortly after anthesis, these are abscised and fall to the floor, where they often persist for many months in the thick and slow-rotting carpet of Agathis leaves.
