Etymology

The generic name Crinodendron is composed of two Greek words: krinon, meaning lily,[4][8] in reference to the fragrant, white, lily-like flowers of Crinodendron patagua,[4] and dendron, meaning tree.[8]

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.[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]
