Pinhão

Araucaria angustifolia, the Paraná pine, Brazilian pine or candelabra tree , is a critically endangered species in the conifer genus Araucaria. Although the common names in various languages refer to the species as a "pine", it does not belong in the genus Pinus. It is an evergreen tree usually growing to 40 metres (130 ft) tall and 1 m (3 ft 3 in) diameter at breast height. The largest individual, near Nova Petrópolis, Rio Grande do Sul state, Brazil is 45 m or 147.7 ft in height with a diameter at breast height of 3.8 m or 12.5 ft girth. The tree is fast growing; as much as 113 centimetres (3+1⁄2 ft) a year (16 m or 52 ft in 14 years) at Puerto Piray, Misiones Province, Argentina.: 13_8  The leaves are thick, tough and scale like, triangular, 3–6 cm (1+1⁄8–2+3⁄8 in) long, 5–10 millimetres (25⁄128–25⁄64 in) broad at the base, and with razor-sharp edges and tip. They persist 10 to 15 years, so cover most of the tree except for the trunk and older branches. The bark is uncommonly thick, up to 15 cm (6 in) deep. The inner bark and resin from the trunk of the tree is reddish.
