Descripción
Genus containing 35 species of trees and shrubs native to the Southern Hemisphere, including South America and Australasia, with fossil specimens having been found in Antarctica. Formerly these species were included in the family Fagaceae, but genetic tests proved that they are distinct, and they are now in a family their own, the Nothofagaceae.
