araucaria bidwillii & rhoetosaurus brownei

"The bunya pine (Araucaria bidwillii) dates back some 200 million years to the Jurassic period, the golden age of dinosaurs. It formed part of an alien landscape of non-flowering plants such as cycads, palms, conifers and ferns. During that period, the Pangaea supercontinent began to break apart. The bunya family, which was once widespread, eventually became more concentrated in the southern supercontinent Gondwana. There, it continued to feed enormous herbivorous sauropods that tossed massive cones down their gullets – whole! 

Today 41 species of the Araucariaceae family are scattered across the Southern Hemisphere in Australia, South America, New Zealand, New Guinea, Norfolk Island and New Caledonia. They include the grand New Zealand kauri pine (Agathis australis), the mountain-loving monkey puzzle (Araucaria araucana), Norfolk Island pine (Araucaria heterophylla), Wollemi pine (Wollemia nobilis) and others. 

Only three species produce nuts that are edible by humans and Australia, Brazil and Chile are those countries lucky enough to be their homes." [c] australian geographic
