Hoop pine genus (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

araucaria

(Other definitions for araucaria that I've seen before include "Evergreen" , "Monkey puzzle tree - Guardian cryptic crossword setter" , "puzzle for primates?" , "Coniferous tree" , "Monkey puzzle tree (or Chile pine)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
