Notes
This is an extremely variable species depending on habitat and latitude. Northern populations grow as gnarled, dwarf shrubs, while plants further south are bigger and better formed. Plants growing close to the sea are more gnarled due to the influence of the wind and have broader leaves especially in southern populations. Further inland plants are often bigger and where conditions are drier or at higher altitudes the leaves are almost lanceolate with more deeply denticulate margins.
Seed of this species is banked by the national seed bank of Chile, INIA.
