 Lepidothamnus description
The genus was formerly included in Dacrydium, but de Laubenfels (2) segregated the genus Falcatifolium and Quinn (1) further segregated the genera Halocarpus, Lagarostrobos, and Lepidothamnus, leaving Dacrydium sensu strictu.
These segregations were made on the basis of differences in female cone morphology, a criterion that has been used as the taxonomic basis for differentiating all genera in the Podocarpaceae (1).
The genus appears relatively isolated in the family, although it may show a distant affinity with Lagarostrobos and Halocarpus, which are also devoid of axial xylem parenchyma and hypodermis and have no vascular fibres in the adult leaves" (1).

The species 'Lagarostrobos franklinii' is a species of conifer native to the wet southwestern corner of Tasmania, Australia; it is the sole species in 'Lagarostrobos'; one other species L.
Lagarostrobos franklinii is often known as "Huon Pine" or "Macquarie Pine", confusing names as it is a podocarp (Podocarpaceae), not a pine (Pinaceae).
It is a slow growing, but long-lived tree; some living specimens of this tree are in excess of 2000 years in age.

Genetic diversity and phylogeography in a Tasmanian rainforest conifer (Lagarostrobos franklinii (Hook f.) Quinn Podocarpaceae
Genetic variation in Huon pine (Lagarostrobos franklinii), a Tasmanian rainforest conifer, was estimated using several marker systems and two spatial scales.
Genealogy based methods were used to infer population history of eight Huon pine stands based on chloroplast DNA variation.

 CSIRO PUBLISHING - Australian Systematic Botany
The leaf arrangement and cuticular micromorphology of living species of the Podocarpaceae with an imbricate leaf arrangement demonstrates that generic determination is possible on this basis alone.
This is of particular interest in Dacrydium, Halocarpus, Lepidothamnus and Lagarostrobos, which until recently were considered to be monogeneric.
However, the two species of Lagarostrobos differ significantly from one another in these features, which further supports the view that these species should not be in the same genus.

 Rainforests
Tasmania's west coast is home to the Tasmanian temperate rain forests ecoregion, the biggest tract of temperate rainforest in the world.
It contains mixed forests, with broadleaf southern beech (Nothofagus) and conifers, including Huon Pine (Lagarostrobos franklinii), and King Billy Pine (Athrotaxis selaginoides).
Substantial temperate rainforest areas also occur in Victoria's Otway Ranges, the Strzelecki Ranges, Dandenong Ranges, East Gippsland, and south-east New South Wales.

 PAG-X: GENETIC IDENTITY OF A PUTATIVE CLONAL STAND OF HUON PINE FROM MT. READ, TASMANIA   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
Delineation of relatedness and genetic structure of individuals in forest tree populations is critical for accurate assessment of genetic diversity in natural and managed populations.
A high elevation stand of Huon pine (Lagarostrobos franklinii) found at Mt. Read, Tasmania purportedly reproduces entirely vegetatively and produces male cones only.
Based on a previous allozyme survey with three loci, it is reported to be a clonal stand that may be 10,000 years old.

 Markham et al. - Flavonoid glycosides of Dacrydium sensu lato
The flavonoid glycoside characteristics of the other segregate genera, Lagarostrobos and Dacrydium sensu stricto are less distinctive, both groups being characterised by a predominance of flavonol 0- glycosides.
It is also noted that Lagarostrobos colensoi of New Zealand and the non-New Zealand Dacrydium species do not fit comfortably with the respective type speciesLagarostrobosfranklinii snADacrydium cupressinum in terms of their flavonoid glycoside chemistry.
