Lagarostrobos franklinii, commonly known as the Huon pine or Macquarie pine, is a species of conifer native to the wet southwestern corner of Tasmania, Australia. It is the sole species in the genus Lagarostrobos and is related to the Parasitaxus and Manoao genera. The wood is highly prized for its golden yellow colour, fine grain, and natural oils that resist rotting. It is a slow-growing, but long-lived tree, with some specimens estimated to be over 2,000 years old. It is estimated that 15% of its habitat has been lost due to inundation for hydroelectric schemes and to fire over the past 100 years or so. Extensive logging in the past has removed nearly all large trees, but there is regrowth nearly everywhere. Conservation efforts are in place to protect the species.
