Araucaria bernieri (Bernier's columnar araucaria) is a species of conifer in the family Araucariaceae. It is found only in New Caledonia at elevations below 700 meters, mainly in the southern part of the main island. It is a large tree reaching 40–50 meters in height, though specimens growing on poorer soil tend to be dwarfed.[2] It is threatened by habitat loss with a wild population of less than 10,000 mature trees, and ongoing decline in remaining populations.[1]
