		Lepidothamnus is een geslacht van coniferen behorend tot de familie van Podocarpaceae.
		Het geslacht omvat drie soorten van tweehuizige, groenblijvende bomen, struiken en kruipende planten:
		Lepidothamnus fonkii in zuidelijk Chili, waar het als lage struik of kruipende plant in moerassen groeit.

		There has been exceptionally little scientific observation in the region, and the writings of early explorers, especially from Britain (Darwin 1839) and Sweden (Skottsberg 1911) are still valuable.
		Detailed data for Magellanic moorland are not yet available, but it is known to be dominated by cushion-forming plants, a dwarf gymnosperm Lepidothamnus fonkii, and graminoids (Moore 1979).
		These are are also characteristic of high altitudes, and produce a vegetation that has all the appearance of tundra, but without permafrost (Pisano V. 1977; Pisano 1983).

	Markham et al. - Flavonoid glycosides of Dacrydium sensu lato
		Abstract The flavonoid glycoside chemistry of all New Zealand, and a number of key non-New Zealand, representatives of Dacrydium sensu lato is reported for the first time.
		Lepidothamnus is characterised by a predominance of flavone O-glycosides in its foliage, andHalocarpus by a predominance of flavone C-glycosides.
		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.

	Gymnosperms of New Zealand
		Big forest trees are often so tall that you cannot even see the foliage, so bark characters and tree form are important in identifying these trees (the Big Five, the cedars, the forest phylloclades and the kauri).
		The scale-leaved podocarps (Halocarpus, Manoao, and Lepidothamnus intermedius) have very similar foliage and bark characters, so they are particularly problematic.
		Pay particular attention to juvenile foliage (which, in any case, is often the only kind you will see) and habitat when identifying the scale-leaved podocarps.

	Lepidothamnus description
		The genus was formerly included in Dacrydium, but de Laubenfels (1969) segregated the genus Falcatifolium and Quinn (1982) 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 (Quinn 1982).
		Plants of this genus have been found in early Miocene (about 20 million years ago) sediments in southern New Zealand (Pole 2007).

	Molloy - Manoao, a new conifer genus name
		franklinii, endemic to Tasmania, are so divergent as to warrant treatment as separate genera distinct from Dacrydium and the other segregate genera Halocarpus and Lepidothamnus.
		As a consequence, Lagarostrobos is redefined to include the type and sole extant species, L.
		The necessary new combination and transfer are made, and names previously assigned to both species are typified.

	Lepidothamnus
		Seed plants > Non-flowering > Native species > Scale leaves > Lepidothamnus
		These are small trees or low, creeping shrubs with overlapping, awl-like leaves (circular or angular in cross section).
		The seed is subtended by several red fleshy cone scales.

	Terrestrial Ecoregions -- Magellanic subpolar forests (NT0402)
		In sheltered areas, even on the outermost islands, only fragments of the evergreen forest develop.
		The bogs comprise characteristic species, many with austral affinities such as Astelia, Bolax, Caltha, Donatia, Drapetes, Gaimardia, Lepidothamnus and Phyllachne.
		Over the highest mountains, usually limited by a belt of low ‘krumholz’ of prostrate specimens of Nothofagus species, alpine vegetation is found above the forests.
