Morphological Summary
Genus of southern beeches (family Nothofagaceae) distributed in the Southern Hemisphere: South America (Chile and Argentina, mainly Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego), Australia, New Zealand, New Guinea, and subantarctic islands. They are the dominant trees of the temperate and subantarctic forests of the Southern Hemisphere, the ecological equivalents of Northern Hemisphere Fagus (beeches). The Patagonian nothofagus — ñirre (N. antarctica), lenga (N. pumilio), coihue (N. dombeyi), roble pellín (N. obliqua), rauli (N. alpina) — are the most important forestry species of the southernmost South America and form the spectacular Patagonian forests that turn red and yellow in autumn. Relicts of the Gondwanan flora.
