1. Athrotaxis selaginoides

   Athrotaxis selaginoides is a species of Athrotaxis, endemic to Tasmania in Australia, where it grows at 400–1,120 m altitude. In its habitat in the mountains, snow in winter is very usual. It is often called King Billy Pine or King William Pine (believed to be in reference to William Lanne, an Aboriginal Tasmanian man), although it is not a true pine.

1. athrotaxis selaginoides

   Athrotaxis selaginoides, commonly known as King Billy pine or King William pine, is a plant species in the cypress family. It is a large evergreen tree, native to Tasmania, Australia. It is often found in highlands, mountain slopes, and alongside bogs and creeks, preferring temperate, high-rainfall habitats. The tree features sharp, dark-green leaves and woody cones, and the timber produced from it is known for its durability and resistance to rot. Conservation efforts for it are important due to the species' vulnerability to fires.

1. Athrotaxis selaginoides

   Athrotaxis selaginoides is a species of Athrotaxis, endemic to Tasmania in Australia, where it grows at 400–1,120 m altitude. In its habitat in the mountains, snow in winter is very usual. It is often called King Billy Pine or King William Pine, although it is not a true pine. It is an evergreen coniferous tree growing to 20–30 m tall, with a trunk up to 1.5 m diameter. The leaves are claw-like, 7–18 mm long and 3–4 mm broad, arranged spirally on the shoots. The seed cones are globose, 15–30 mm diameter, with 20–30 spirally-arranged scales; they are mature about six months after pollination. The pollen cones are 4–5 mm long. The species is threatened, with the major cause of decline being out-of-control bushfires set to clear logging debris after timber harvests in nearby Eucalyptus forests; about a third of the species' range has been lost due to fires in the 20th century. Although most of the native stands are now in protected areas, fire still remains a serious risk to the species. Logging for its timber has also caused some decline. Away from its native range, it is occasionally cultivated as an ornamental tree in northwestern Europe. It succeeds in Scotland where it receives the necessary rainfalls for its good growth and produces fertile seeds there.
