However, there are several synonyms for this botanical name, which includes Lepidothamnus fonkii, Fitzroya fonkii, and Lepidothamnus pulchellus. Lepidothamnus is closely related to the Fitzroya tree, which is commonly referred to as the Patagonian cypress. Lepidothamnus trees are often mistaken for true cypresses, but they are not members of the Cypress family. These trees are commonly found in the Andes Mountains of South America and are an important part of the local forest ecosystems.
