Taxon
Podocarpus totara
Common name:
Totara geelhout, Totara pine, Totara yellowwood, Tōtara
Family:
Podocarpaceae (Podocarpus)
Distribution:
New Zealand
IUCN Red list:
Least concern
Life form:
Tree
Comments:
In a classic example of Antarctic flora species-pair the tōtara is very closely related to Podocarpus nubigenus from South America, to the extent that if planted together, they are very difficult to distinguish. The best distinction is the grey-green tone of the leaves, compared to the slightly brighter green of P. nubigenus.
