Abstract: Wollemia nobilis is a monotypic genus in Araucariaceae and one of the oldest living fossil plants in the earth. At present it is on the verge of extinction, so effective propagation measures must be taken in order to protect it. However, there were few reports about it. This paper summarized the research progress of propagation and other fields about Wollemia nobilis, and further discussed the application prospects.
