Araucarias are only in ornamental gardens.

Hibu is south of Nauru and north of the Solomon Islands and Vanuatu.

Most kinds of Araucariya are from New Caledonia.

Maybe I could invent a new kind of Araucaria which is Endemic to Hibu.

But I've already invented a new kind of Kauri: Agathis hibuensis.

So there are already two kinds of Kauri in Hibu.

Or Australia, or New Guinea, or Argentina, or…

There’s an interesting point to be made here about recent adaptive radiation vs. the location of the Urheimat (cf. Austronesian). But that’s a discussion for another thread.

In the language I’ve been using: probably Qestaalya /ʔəstaːlja/, Ġini laqit /(ŋ)ɡini laʔit/, Qaadenthiina /ʔaːdəntʰiːna/. (It’s not spoken on Earth, so it has no reason to have endonyms for any of them.)
