A Botanical Challenge #11
What's that tree/plant in the distance? Why, its Araucaria araucana, the puzzler of monkeys and the matriach of the Araucariaceae family. Not as likely to drop large nuts on your head as some of the other family members are wont to do, but just as capable of causing pain and embarrassment if you step on any fallen "leaves".
In this third and final part of my Araucaria challenges, you’ll learn a bit about the national tree of Chile, follow it on a journey across the western world, only to (sort of) end up back at where you started. In other words, pay attention to the location trivia to prepare for an unpinnable round 5 trekker.
Usual 3 minutes, moving permitted. No botany knowledge required (usually).
