	Aextoxicon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Aextoxicon punctatum, the sole species of genus Aextoxicon and family Aextoxicaceae, is a tree native to southern Chile.
		Commonly known as the olivillo or aceitunillo, it is a large evergreen tree endemic to the forests of the Valdivian temperate rain forests and Magellanic subpolar forests of southern Chile's Pacific coast, where it forms a canopy tree in the laurel-leaf forests.
		Aextoxicaceae in L. Watson and M.J. Dallwitz (1992 onwards).

	Berberidopsidales
		Aextoxicaceae are dioecious evergreen trees that can be recognised by their opposite, entire exstipulate leaves that are covered with peltate scales and by their pendulous, racemose inflorescence.
		The embryo is more or less transverse to the long axis of the seed.
		Aextoxicaceae were included in Euphorbiales (Takhtajan 1997), and have also been linked with Saxifragales (Qiu et al.

		Relict islands of the temperate rainforest tree Aextoxicon punctatum (Aextoxicaceae) in semiarid Chile: Genetic differentiation and biogeographic history.
		ABSTRACT- Aextoxicon punctatum (Olivillo), the only representative of the endemic and monotypic family Aextoxicaceae, has a biogeographic history that dates back to Gondwanan tropical forests, and a latitudinal distribution that extends over 1200 km, with disjunct populations in the Chilean semiarid region and southern temperate rainforests.
		This study explores how this biogeographic history has influenced the genetic diversity of present-day Olivillo populations.

		450 vascular plant species; high endemism, including quasi-endemic family Aextoxicaceae and 17 monotypic regionally endemic genera; ecologically major threatened species.
		Most outstandingly, a third of the woody genera and one family (Aextoxicaceae) are endemic to the southern temperate area of Chile and Argentina (including Mediterranean-climate scrublands).
		Close to 80% of the regionally endemic genera are monotypic (Arroyo et al.

	Hotspots Revisited
		There are also a number of endemic genera on the Juan Fernández Islands (Stuessy et al.
		In addition, three plant families (Aextoxicaceae, Gomortegaceae, and Lactoridaceae) are restricted to the hotspot.
		Although not rich in species, the Valdivian rainforest habitat is characterized by an outstanding number of endemic and/or monotypic plant genera, with one-third of all woody plant genera endemic to the general area of the hotspot (Arroyo et al.
