The [[Leaf|leaves]] are simple and alternate, growing 2-4.5 cm long, and often viscid, with a sweetly scented wax. The leaf color is medium green, becoming yellow to orange in the fall. They are broadly ovate to triangular, crinkly, rounded at the tips, irregularly and minutely toothed. The [[flower]]s are inconspicuous yellow-green [[catkin]]s. The [[fruit]] is a 6 mm, very fragrant 4-valved capsule containing three small [[nut (fruit)|nuts]]. <br /> <br /> ''[[Nothofagus moorei]]'', found in [[Australia]], is also referred to as &quot;Antarctic Beech&quot;.<br /> <br /> ==References and external links==<br /> *[http://www.pharmakobotanik.de/systematik/8_strasb/vorlesung/document/sysv602.htm] [http://www.helsinki.fi/~jhyvonen/PB/N/Nothofagus%20antarctica-pp.JPG] [http://www.helsinki.fi/~jhyvonen/PB/N/N.%20antarctica%20mire%20margi-pp.JPG] [http://www.helsinki.fi/~jhyvonen/PB/N/Nothofagus%20antarctica%20lv-pp.JPG] Photos<br /> *[http://www.horticopia.com/hortpix/html/pc3749.htm Information source]<br /> *[http://www.chilebosque.cl/tree/nanta.html ''Nothofagus antarctica'' pictures and information]<br /> {{commons}}<br /> [[Category:Nothofagaceae]]<br /> [[Category:Trees of Argentina]]<br /> [[Category:Trees of Chile]]<br /> [[Category:Trees of Tierra del Fuego]]</div>
