Krasser <br /> }}<br /> <br /> '''''[[Nothofagus]] pumilio''''' ('''Lenga Beech''' or '''Lenga''') is a [[deciduous]] [[tree]] or [[shrub]] native to the central area of the [[Andes]] range, in the temperate forests of [[Chile]] and [[Argentina]] down to [[Tierra del Fuego]]. In southern [[Patagonia]] it grows to a height of up to 30 m, and attains a trunk diameter of 1.5 m. In more northern regions it grows only at heights above 1000 meters in the form of a shrub. The [[leaf|leaves]] are 2–4 cm long, with irregularly lobed margins, and turn to yellow and reddish tones in autumn. The [[fruit]] is a small [[nut (fruit)|nut]] 4–7 mm long.<br /> <br /> The Lenga Beech can be found in the [[Valdivian temperate rain forests]], [[Torres del Paine National Park]], [[Tierra del Fuego National Park]], [[Los Alerces National Park]] and [[Nahuel Huapi National Park]] among other places. It belongs to the same genus as the [[coihue]].<br /> <br /> The [[wood]] is used in construction and sometimes as a substitute for American [[Black Cherry]] in the manufacturing of cabinets.&lt;!-- in the US? --&gt;<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> *[http://www.chilebosque.cl/tree/npumi.html ''Nothofagus pumilio'' in Chilebosque] (Spanish)<br /> *[http://www.florachilena.cl/Niv_tax/Angiospermas/Ordenes/Fagales/Nothofagaceae/Nothofagus%20pumilio/N.%20pumilio.htm ''Nothofagus pumilio'' in Enciclopedia de la Flora Chilena] (Spanish)<br /> *[http://www.chlorischile.cl/cursoonline/guia4/guia4.htm#lenga ''Nothofagus pumilio'': notes by S.
