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.[9]
Distribution
It is native to Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, and has been introduced to the Juan Fernández Islands.[2]
Ecology
Pollination
Crinodendron patagua is insect pollinated, Crinodendron hookerianum is hummingbird pollinated,[10][11] and Crinodendron tucumanum is insect pollinated.[11]
Horticulture
In cultivation in temperate areas they require a sheltered location.[12]
