Araucariaceae is a family of conifers with three living genera, Araucaria in the Araucarioid clade and Agathis, and Wollemia in the Agathioid clade. While the family's native distribution is now largely confined to the Southern Hemisphere, except for a few species of Agathis in Malesia, it was formerly widespread in the Northern Hemisphere during the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods.[1]
