'''''Lepidothamnus''''' is a [[genus]] of [[conifer]]s belonging to the podocarp family [[Podocarpaceae]]. The genus includes three [[species]] of [[dioecious]] or monoecious [[evergreen]] [[tree]]s and [[shrub]]s, and creepers. ''[[Lepidothamnus intermedius|L. intermedius]]'' and ''[[Lepidothamnus laxifolius|L. laxifolius]]'' are native to [[New Zealand]]. ''[[Lepidothamnus fonkii|L. fonkii]]'' is native to the [[Magellanic subpolar forests]] [[ecoregion]] of southern [[Argentina]] and [[Chile]], where it grows as a low shrub or creeper in [[moorland]]s and [[bog]]s.
