Boquila
''Boquila'' is a monotypic genus of flowering plants in the family Lardizabalaceae,〔SB Hoot, A Culham, PR Crane, 1995. The utility of atpB gene sequences in resolving phylogenetic relationships: comparison with rbcL and 18S ribosomal DNA sequences in the Lardizabalaceae. Annals of the Missouri Botanical Garden, 194-207〕 native to temperate forests of central and southern Chile and Argentina. The sole species is ''Boquila trifoliolata'' (DC.) Decne., known as ''Pilpil, Voqui, Voquicillo, Voquillo, Voqui blanco'' in Chile. It bears an edible fruit (Boquila berries). This species has been shown to be capable of mimicking the leaves of its supporting trees. Ernesto Gianoli said "Boquila’s leaves are extraordinarily diverse. The biggest ones can be 10 times bigger than the smallest, and they can vary from very light to very dark. In around three-quarters of cases, they’re similar to the closest leaf from another tree, matching it in size, area, length of stalk, angle, and color. Boquila’s leaves can even grow a spiny tip when, and only when, it climbs onto a shrub with spine-tipped leaves." == See also ==
