Drimys winteri, also known as Winter's bark, foye[2] and canelo, is a slender species of tree in the family Winteraceae, growing up to 20 m (66 ft) tall.

[6] The canelo or foye is the sacred tree of the Mapuche, who associated it with "good, peace and justice",[7] often planted in special gatherings.

Before entering the Strait, in July 1578, Drake sent Wynter ashore where he learned indigenous people ate the astringent bark.

Wynter returned in 1580[9] with a supply of Drimys bark, and for centuries before vitamin C was isolated, "Winter's Bark" was esteemed as a preventive and remedy for scurvy— correctly so, for an infusion of D. winteri sustained Captain James Cook and his crew in the South Pacific, and the naturalist accompanying his voyage of exploration, Johann Reinhold Forster, was the first to officially describe and name D.

[10] Drimys winteri is grown in cool moist climates[11] as an ornamental plant for its red-brown bark, bright green fragrant leaves and its clusters of creamy white jasmine-scented flowers.

Specimens brought from the southern forests of Tierra del Fuego and planted in the Faroe Islands have proven to be especially hardy.

[17] Zapata & Smagghe 2010 test the essential oils of bark and leaves and find that both are repellent and usable as a fumigant against Tribolium castaneum.
