Agathis microstachya, the bull kauri, is a species of conifer in the Araucariaceae family, endemic to Australia. It was described in 1918 by John Frederick Bailey and Cyril Tenison White.[2] It is threatened by habitat loss.

Description

A. microstachya grows up to about {{Convert|50|m|abbr = on}} in height and {{Convert|2.7|m|abbr = on}} in diameter. The trunk is unbuttressed, straight and with little taper. Distinctive features are coarse, flaky bark, medium-sized cones with 160-210 scales, and leaves with numerous longitudinal, parallel veins.[4]

Distribution

It has a very restricted distribution, being almost limited to the Atherton Tableland in Far North Queensland, with its elevational range {{Convert|400-900|m|abbr = on}} above sea level.[3]

Timber

The wood has an even texture, is easy to work and polishes well. The heartwood is cream to pale brown in colour. It is soft and light with a density of about {{Convert|480|kg/m3|lb/ft3|abbr = on}}. It is not durable in contact with the ground, but can be used for house framing and flooring.[3]
