 Mon·key's puz·zle Bot. A lofty coniferous Chilian tree (Araucaria araucana, formerly Araucaria imbricata), the branches of which are so crowded and intertwisted “as to puzzle a monkey to climb.”  It is also called monkey puzzle and monkey puzzle tree.  The edible nuts are over an inch long, and are called piñon by the Chilians.
