This is a summary of Fitzroya, a monotypic genus in the cypress family. It is the single living species, Fitzroya cupressoides, and is native to the Andes mountains and coastal regions of southern Chile and Argentina. It is the largest tree species in South America, normally growing to 40–60 m, and is an important member of the Valdivian temperate rain forests. Common names include alerce ("larch" in Spanish), lahuán (Spanish, from the Mapuche name lawal), and Patagonian cypress. The wood was used by the Huilliche people for making tools and weapons, and was highly valued in Chile and Peru for its elasticity and lightness. It was the principal means of exchange in the trade with Peru, and even came to be used as a local currency, the real de alerce, in Chiloé Archipelago. Logging of Fitzroya continued until 1976 when it became forbidden by law, although illegal logging still occasionally occurs. The oldest known living specimen is Alerce Milenario in Alerce Costero National Park, Chile, which is more than 60 m tall, with a trunk diameter of 4.26
