Polylepis tarapacana, known in its native habitat by the Spanish common name Queñoa De Altura[1] (polylepis or quenoa of [high] altitude), is a short tree or shrub which is found in small, scattered groupings along the mountainous borders of Bolivia, Chile, and Peru (Western Cordillera),[1] growing in soil formed by volcanos.[1] Populations may also be present in Argentina, but this is unconfirmed.[1]
