Drimys brasiliensis is a broadleaf evergreen tree that belongs to the Winteraceae family. It is native to the Atlantic Forest in eastern Brazil, western Paraguay, northwestern Argentina, and Bolivia. This tree can grow up to 8 meters tall and has a dense rounded crown with a short cylindrical bole. It produces white flowers and is typically found as a shrub in the northern part of its range and as a taller tree in the southern part. It is commonly found in highlands and rainforests, as well as dryland forests and savannas. There are three recognized subspecies of Drimys brasiliensis, each with its own unique characteristics. The bark of this tree has medicinal properties and is used to treat various digestive disorders. The wood is also used for carpentry and fuel.
