Origin
| Geographic Regions | South America | |||
| States and Territories | Argentina, S Brazil, Paraguay. The only extant member of the Araucariaceae not to have a distribution on the rim of the South Pacific Ocean. The range of this species before European settlement was extensive and predominantly located in southern Brazil, with extensions into eastern Paraguay and the Argentinian Misiones region between the Parana and Uruguay Rivers. To the NE its range is broken up into more scattered occurrences. The most northerly occurrence is a very small stand of very old trees in poor condition near Conselheiro Pena in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, situated in the Padre Angelo mountains of the upper Rio Doce (Hueck, 1961). In the east it does not reach the Atlantic coast, while in the west its limits are in the uplands east of the Paraná (a river that in Brazil is now mostly drowned in reservoirs). Its southernmost station is near Caxias do Sul in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. This range lies approximately between 19 and 31°S and between 41 and 54°W. Golte (1993: f. 3) reproduced a map based on one given by Hueck (1966) which due to deforestation is now outdated and due to its small scale (1:30,000,000) gives a false impression of an extensive area of occupancy. The paucity of herbarium collections in the major herbaria of the world has made it impossible to present an adequate map based on these data.; Brazil; Minas Gerais; Sao Paulo; Parana; Rio Grande do Sul; Santa Catarina; Southern South America; Misiones; Paraguay | |||
