Fuscospora gunnii
''Fuscospora gunnii'', the Deciduous Beech, Tanglefoot Beech, Tanglefoot or Fagus (which can also refer to the entire Beech family) is a deciduous shrub endemic to the highlands of Tasmania, Australia, where it is the only winter-deciduous plant. It grows in alpine and sub-alpine regions in the west to central portions of the state but is absent from the mountains of the northeast. Though capable of reaching a small tree, it rarely exceeds 2 m in height, instead growing as a thick shrub or as a woody ground cover hence the common name "tanglefoot". It was known as ''Nothofagus gunnii'' until 2013.
==Description==
The leaves are simple and alternate, growing 1 cm long. The leaf color is bright green, turning yellow, then brilliant red, in autumn. They are circular with deep veins which end in serrations. The flowers are inconspicuous yellow-green catkins. The fruit is a 6 mm capsule containing three small winged nuts. In most years seed production is poor, but once in a while a 'mast' crop occurs with high germination. The seeds have a very short viability.
Tanglefoot forests cannot survive fire, and must re-establish from neighbouring areas. They are very sensitive to changed conditions due to their slow growth. Only 100 km² of forest remain.
