Pilgerodendron is a monotypic genus of conifer containing one species, Pilgerodendron uviferum, a slow-growing tree from the cypress family native to cool, wet forests of southern Chile and Argentina. It is rarely grown as an ornamental and is not a typical garden or houseplant.
Pilgerodendron is a monotypic genus of conifer in the cypress family, Cupressaceae, containing the sole species, Pilgerodendron uviferum, which is endemic to the Valdivian temperate rain forests and Magellanic subpolar forests of southern Chile and southwestern Argentina. It grows from 40 to 54°20' S in Tierra del Fuego, where it is the southernmost conifer species in the world. It is a member of subfamily Callitroideae, a group of distinct Southern Hemisphere genera associated with the Antarctic flora.
Pilgerodendron is very closely related to the New Zealand and New Caledonian genus Libocedrus, and many botanists treat P. uviferum within this genus, as Libocedrus uvifera (D.Don) Pilg. It is also a taxonomical synonym for Libocedrus tetragona (Hooker).
