Nothofagus moorei
Nothofagus moorei, commonly known as Antarctic beech, is a species of flowering plant in the family Nothofagaceae that is endemic to high elevation areas of eastern Australia. It is a tree, with simple leathery, glossy, egg-shaped to lance-shaped leaves.
Antarctic beech grows in cool temperate rainforests from the Barrington Tops plateau in New South Wales, north to the Lamington Plateau and Springbrook Plateau, in southern Queensland, between altitudes of 480 m and 1550 m. It occurs in temperate to cool temperatures and with occasional snowfalls. Antarctic beech achieves its finest development at Werrikimbe National Park and Mount Banda Banda.
