Kauri pine is a type of tree endemic to New Zealand, popular for its use in furniture and construction. The word "kauri pine" has several synonyms, including Dammara orientalis, Agathis australis, and Agathis robusta. These synonyms refer to the same tree species but are used in different contexts or by different experts in the field. Sometimes, the term "kauri pine" is also used interchangeably with "kauri" or "New Zealand kauri". Although the tree is considered a conifer, it is not a true pine and has distinctive features, such as large cone-shaped fruits and a reddish-brown bark.
