Schinus Patagonica
''Schinus'' is a genus of flowering trees and tall shrubs in the sumac family, Anacardiaceae. Members of the genus are commonly known as pepper trees. The Peruvian pepper tree (''Schinus molle'') is the source of the spice known as pink peppercorn. The species of ''Schinus'' are native to South America, ranging from Peru and northeastern Brazil to southern South America. Some species (e.g. ''Schinus terebinthifolia'') have become an invasive species outside their natural habitats. ''Schinus polygama'', although less well known, is also potentially weedy in mesic areas. Etymology The generic name is derived from the Greek word for ''Pistacia lentiscus'', Σχίνος (''schinos''), which it resembles. There has been considerable historical confusion as to the correct grammatical gender of the genus name; this was resolved in 2015 with the determination that the correct gender of ''Schinus'' is feminine, not masculine, and adjectival names within the genus must be spelled acco ...

''Schinus polygama'', the Hardee peppertree or Chilean pepper tree, is a species of plant in the family Anacardiaceae native to Argentina and Chile and naturalized in California.
