	Encyclopedia: Wollemia
		All that was at first suspected by the botanists was that it had certain characteristics of the 200-million-year-old family Araucariaceae, but was not the same as any living species in the family.
		Comparison with living and fossilised Araucariaceae proved that it was a member of that family, and it was placed into a new genus with the other extant genera Agathis and Araucaria.
		Araucariaceae May 10 is the 130th day of the year in the Gregorian Calendar (131st in leap years).

		The Araucariaceae, comprising the Agathis, Araucaria, Wollemia genera, is arguably the most magnificent family of trees to have ever graced our planet.
		Because of the increasing fascination worldwide with subjects related to the dinosaur age and the "greening of Gondwana", the revival of interest in the Araucariaceae is both timely and justified.

		Morphological, wood anatomy and DNA analysis suggest that the Wollemi is a new genus, falling between the two previously known living genera: Agathis and Araucaria.
		There are Triassic fossil examples of the Araucariaceae family, which reached maximum diversity during the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods, between 200 and 65 million years ago, with worldwide distribution.
		The Araucariaceae family then began a slow decline in range and diversity as flowering plants, better adapted to climate change, began to evolve and gradually displace conifers.

		The Araucariaceae family of conifers is thought to has existed for as long as 250 million years.
		The Wollemi pine (Wollemia nobilis) is a member of the Araucariaceae family, and appears in the fossil record from as early as 150 million years ago until about 2 million years ago.
		Unsurprisingly, it was thought to be extinct until 1994, when a field officer of the Australian National Parks and Wildlife Service with some botanical knowledge stumbled across a valley of conifers with which he wasn’t familiar.

	Araucariaceae description
		The Araucariaceae include several hardy and attractive species that are very widely used as ornamentals, including Araucaria angustifolia, A. araucana, A. bidwillii and A.
		The genus Araucaria is represented by good fossil material in both hemispheres as early as the Jurassic, while Agathis is only known from the Southern Hemisphere beginning in the Cretaceous.
		ABSTRACT: The Southern Hemisphere conifer family Araucariaceae has a very restricted present day distribution, but was more widespread in the past.

		Of the other extant Araucariaceae, the new genus appears closest to Agathis, but it has many features in common with Cretaceous and early Tertiary fossil groups such as Araucarioides, and may be closer to these.
		Phylogenetic analysis of our new data and other available sequences indicate that 1) Araucariaceae is monophyletic; 2) Agathis and Araucaria are both monophyletic; 3) Wollemia is the sister group to Agathis; 4) the Pinaceae are the sister group to all other conifers, although the monophyly of the conifers is not unequivocally demonstrated" (4).
