Agathis robusta, the Queensland kauri (pine), kauri pine or smooth-barked kauri, is a coniferous tree in the family Araucariaceae. It has a disjunct distribution, occurring in Papua New Guinea and in two widely separated locations in Queensland, Australia. It was first described in 1859 and was heavily logged in the mid-19th century. It is not a true pine (family Pinaceae), despite the common name.

Is it poisonous?
We have no record of Queensland kauri being toxic, poisonous or venomous. That is not proof that it is safe. Never eat, touch or handle a wild plant, mushroom or animal on the strength of an identification; ask someone qualified.
