Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the dioecious or monoecious conditio n of Fitzroya cupressoides and Pilgerodendron uviferum. The study area lies west of the Nahuel Huapi National Park in northern Patagonia (Argentina), where these species form mixed stands. One hundred individuals of each spec ies were studied over th ree successive years. The nature and position in t he crown of their reproductive organs were recorded. Results showed that bo th species are dioecious. This feature has been confirmed on trees of these species growing in other sites within their natural distribution area in A rgentina and Chile.
