Araucaria muelleri is a species of conifer in the Araucariaceae family. It is a medium size tree, 10–25 meters in height. It is found only in New Caledonia, in several sites in the far south of Grande Terre, the main island.
Conservation
The species is threatened by habitat loss, with both forest fires and nickel mining activities posing ongoing threats to the remaining populations, although some stands of trees are located within protected national park areas.
