Most of these occur in Oceanic-Moist Climates (Northwestern North America (Northwestern California to Southeastern Alaska), Northwest Europe (British Isles and Norway), Southern Chile, Southeastern Australia (Tasmania/Victoria), the West Coast of New Zealand's South Island and some occur in Subtropical-Moist Climates (The Colchian temperate rain forests of the Eastern Black Sea region of Turkey and Georgia, New Zealand's North Island, South Africa's Garden Route, southern/western Japan, and the mountain temperate coniferous rain forests of Taiwan's Central Mountain Ranges).
