By now, many know of the discovery of prehistoric conifer tree near 
Sydney, Australia.  In August, David Noble found 23 adult trees and 16 juveniles
in the Wollemi National Park.  The closest relatives of the trees died
out in the Jurassic Period (190 million to 135 million years ago).
 
Can anyone on the net tell us the genus and speices?
