A phytosociological study of the temperate rain forests dominated by an evergreen species endemic to Chile, one of the highest-rainfall woodland types of temperate South America, included within the geobotanical concept of North Patagonian Forest. Relevés were taken from throughout an area comprised between 40° and 44° 40′ South, in which these woodlands show highest floristic richness. The community's floristic and structural diversity are described and proposed as an independent association, Luzuriago polyphyllae-Nothofagetum nitidae ass. nova. The ultrahyperhumid character of this association is evidenced by the number of Hymenophyllaceae species (filmy ferns) that may occur within it.
