	Lagarostrobos franklinii - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The species Lagarostrobos franklinii is a species of conifer native to the wet southwestern corner of Tasmania, Australia; it is the sole species in Lagarostrobos; one other species L.
		Lagarostrobos franklinii is often known as the Huon Pine or Macquarie Pine, confusing names as it is a podocarp (Podocarpaceae), not a pine (Pinaceae).
		It is a slow growing, but long-lived tree; some living specimens of this tree are in excess of 2000 years in age.

	Lagarostrobos franklinii (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Lagarostrobos comes from two Greek words lagaros= thin, and strobos= cone.
		The species name franklinii honours Sir John Franklin, 17861847, naval captain, arctic explorer and governor of Tasmania from 1836 to 1843.
		The timber is resistant to attack by rot and marine organisms, which makes it useful for ship-building.

	Lagarostrobos franklinii description
		Distinguishing characteristics include: "cone pendulous on decurved cone axis, pale green to white; fertile bracts spreading spoon-shaped, separated by distinct internodes; ovules obliquely inclined towards cone axis, partially inverted, one with pollination drop in early stage of resorption; cone 6 mm x 2 mm." [R. Lamberts] (Molloy 1995).
		Lagarostrobos was formerly included in Dacrydium, but de Laubenfels (1969) segregated the genus Falcatifolium and Quinn (1982) further segregated the genera Halocarpus, Lagarostrobos, and Lepidothamnus, leaving Dacrydium sensu strictu.

		Her team has recently been in the south west of Tasmania analysing mud samples obtained from several small lakes.
		For example, in sediments from a lake in the remote Gordon River region in Tasmania the group found evidence of the impact of convict logging of Huon Pine (Lagarostrobos franklinii) during the 1820s.
		They have also found evidence of increased levels of trace metals in the environment in samples derived from mining sites around Queenstown, and in some instances in samples from sites many kilometres from the actual mining operations.

		Among the 'minor species' timbers it is one of the faster growing.
		Huon Pine (Lagarostrobos franklinii) is probably Tasmania's most prized rainforest timbers and has long been used for boatbuilding and furniture making.
		It is a golden, fine-textured wood that mellows to a light honey clour with age.

	Naturally Australian
		Huon Pine, formerly classified as Dacrydium franklinii, is found mainly in swampy or moist soils of the river flats in south-western Tasmania and is endemic to that area.
		The quiet presence of the timber makes it popular as internal panelling and it is being used increasingly as a weatherboard that does not require painting - under these conditions it weathers to a beautiful-silver grey colour.
		The wood has a distinctive grain but is sometimes confused with the more famous Huon Pine, Lagarostrobus franklinii.

		Delineation of relatedness and genetic structure of individuals in forest tree populations is critical for accurate assessment of genetic diversity in natural and managed populations.
		A high elevation stand of Huon pine (Lagarostrobos franklinii) found at Mt. Read, Tasmania purportedly reproduces entirely vegetatively and produces male cones only.
		Based on a previous allozyme survey with three loci, it is reported to be a clonal stand that may be 10,000 years old.

		Cool temperate rain forests are found in the wetter parts of western Tasmania.
		These forests are often dominated by myrtle (Nothofagus cunninghamii) with conifers such as huon pine (Lagarostrobos franklinii), celery top pine (Phyllocladus aspleniifolius) and King Billy pine (Athrotaxis selaginoides).
		In lowland areas, the rain forests are dominated by Anodopetalum biglandulosum.

		The species Lagarostrobos franklinii, known as Huon Pine or Macquarie Pine, is a species of conifer growing mainly in the wetter southeastern corner of Tasmania, Australia.
		It is a slow growing tree whose timber was highly prized for its golden yellow colour, fine grain and natural oils that resisted rotting.
