About

Prumnopitys is a genus of conifers in the family Podocarpaceae. It includes three species of densely branched, dioecious trees up to 40 metres in height, native to South America and New Zealand.

Where it grows

The species are distributed on both sides of the Pacific, in New Zealand and along the mountain ranges of western South America from Chile to Venezuela. This distribution indicates the origins of Prumnopitys in the Antarctic flora, which evolved from the humid temperate flora of southern Gondwana, an ancient supercontinent.
