Taxonomy

It was published by Giovanni Ignazio Molina in 1782 with Crinodendron patagua Molina as the type species.

Species

It has four species:

  1. Crinodendron brasiliense
  2. Crinodendron hookerianum
  3. Crinodendron patagua
  4. Crinodendron tucumanum

Etymology

The generic name Crinodendron is composed of two Greek words: krinon, meaning lily, in reference to the fragrant, white, lily-like flowers of Crinodendron patagua, and dendron, meaning tree.

Evolution

This genus is most closely related to the Australian Peripentadenia. They appear to descend from a common ancestor that dispersed across the Antarctic land bridge during the Late Cretaceous.

Distribution

It is native to Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, and has been introduced to the Juan Fernández Islands.

Ecology

Pollination

Crinodendron patagua is insect pollinated, Crinodendron hookerianum is hummingbird pollinated, and Crinodendron tucumanum is insect pollinated.

Horticulture
