Azorella lycopodioides

Azorella lycopodioides is a small evergreen in the carrot family, Apiaceae. Its native range spans central and southern Chile. It also grows in western and southern Argentina and the Falklands. Kew places it in the temperate biome and calls it a subshrub. Plants For A Future describes it as an evergreen perennial. These accounts describe a low plant with growth that lasts year-round. It reaches about 1 foot (0.3 metres) in height.

In the wild, it grows among gravel, rocks and peat. Its habitats include Magellanic moorland and exposed, sparsely covered ground called feldmark. It also occurs in low shrub heath and open scrub. Records place it from sea level to about 3,280 feet (1,000 metres). Its range reaches north to roughly 36°30′ south latitude. These records show it occupies several kinds of open ground. They do not establish a tested garden hardiness limit.

Plants For A Future lists a need for full sun. It states that the plant will not grow in shade. Light, sandy soil suits it, with good drainage. The plant can grow where soil nutrients are low. It accepts mildly acid, neutral and mildly alkaline soil. Its stated moisture range runs from dry to moist. The source also gives gritty-soil advice drawn from the genus. That broader advice is not a separate trial of this species.

The leaves remain on the plant throughout the year. Each flower has both male and female reproductive organs. Insects pollinate the flowers, and the plant is self-fertile. The supplied accounts give no flowering season or fruit details. Plants For A Future lists cultivated beds as a garden setting. Its low height and evergreen foliage are the main documented garden traits. British hardiness remains uncertain in that source. It suggests outdoor survival may be possible from the native range.

Plants For A Future reports that the root is edible. It may be eaten raw or cooked, but receives a low food-use rating. The source lists no known medicinal or other uses. It also reports no known hazards, rather than confirmed safety. The supplied evidence gives no specific pest or disease problems. It does not flag this species as a weed.
