Rainforest flora, Northern Chilean Patagonia.

 Avellano: Gevuina avellana

Avellano: Gevuina avellana, has imparipinnate leaves with big irregularly dentate folioles with a bright dark green color.

Between January and March its white flowers in beautiful inflorescences can be seen. At the same time the edible fruits or avellanas coming from the previous year hang in bunches; they are red at the beginning and they ripen, dark brown.


The trees, which can reach a height of more than 20 m, have a beautiful aspect. Within the forest they can be recognized due to its more or less smooth bark with white spots.
