Abstract

Fossil leaves. flowers and fruits assigned to Escallonia, found in beds belonging to the Cura Mallín Formation, at Bullileo, 7o Región, Chile, are reported in this paper. A Middle to Late Eocene or Early Miocene age has been proposed for those rocks. Considerations on the historical phytogeography of the genus are discussed.
