Fuscospora is a genus (or subgenus) of six evergreen and deciduous tree species native to the Southern Hemisphere that can grow up to 30 metres high. They belong to the family Nothofagaceae, which are commonly known as the Southern Beeches. Species from this genus are located in Australia, New Zealand and Chile.[2]
Prior to 2013, Fuscospora was universally considered to be a subgenus of Nothofagus under the name Nothofagus subgenus Fuscospora. Recognition of Fuscospora as a full genus results from a controversial proposal by Heenan & Smissen (2013), a proposal which is rejected by Hill, Jordan & Macphail (2015).[2][3]
