Pseudopanax
''Pseudopanax'' (Latin for "false ginseng") is a small genus of 12–20 species of evergreen plants, the majority of which are endemic to New Zealand. Flowers of the genus occur in terminal umbels. Taxonomy A 2000 molecular study established that several species within the genus were only distantly related to the core group of New Zealand species related the type species ''P. crassifolius''. They were removed to the genus ''Raukaua''. Distribution and habitat ''Pseudopanax'' occur in forest or scrub environments. The genus contains some remarkable small trees with distinctly different juvenile and adult forms, such as ''Pseudopanax crassifolius'' and '' Pseudopanax ferox'' (commonly referred to as 'lancewood' and 'toothed lancewood', respectively). ''Pseudopanax arboreus'' (common name "five-finger") is a very common small tree in New Zealand native forests. '' Pseudopanax simplex'' occurs on the North Island south of the Waihou River; in Westland and other South Island forests; ...

Pseudopanax Lessonii
''Pseudopanax lessonii'', or houpara, is a New Zealand native tree belonging to the family Araliaceae. Description Houpara is a shrub or tree up to 6 m tall, with stout branches. The leaves are crowded towards the tips of branchlets, and are 3- to 5-foliolate. Juvenile plants have larger leaves than adults. The petioles are 5–15 cm long. Distribution Endemic to New Zealand, Houpara's natural range is coastal forest and scrub on the Three Kings Islands and the North Island as far south as Poverty Bay Poverty Bay (Māori: ''Tūranganui-a-Kiwa'') is the largest of several small bays on the east coast of New Zealand's North Island to the north of Hawke Bay. It stretches for from Young Nick's Head in the southwest to Tuaheni Point in the north ... (38°4′S). Cultivation Houpara is popular in New Zealand gardens, but is rare in cultivation elsewhere, requiring mild, moist conditions, without extremes of temperature in winter and summer. A number of cultivars have been ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Pseudopanax Arboreus
''Pseudopanax arboreus'' or five finger (Māori: ''puahou'' or ''whauwhaupaku''), is a New Zealand native tree belonging to the family Araliaceae. It is one of New Zealand's more common native trees, being found widely in bush, scrub and gardens throughout both islands. The compound leaves with five to seven leaflets, hence the common name, are very characteristic of the tree and easily recognized. Closely related and very similar to five finger are '' P. laetus'', '' P. colensoi'' and '' P. macintyrei''. Description Leaflets obovate-oblong to oblong-cuneate, thinly coriaceous, coarsely serrate-dentate. Flowers usually unisexual; inflorescences are compound umbel In botany, an umbel is an inflorescence that consists of a number of short flower stalks (called pedicels) that spread from a common point, somewhat like umbrella ribs. The word was coined in botanical usage in the 1590s, from Latin ''umbella'' "p ...s with 8-20 primary branchlets up to 10 cm long, 15-20 seconda ...

Pseudopanax Crassifolius
''Pseudopanax crassifolius'', the horoeka or lancewood, is a New Zealand native tree belonging to the family Araliaceae. It is found throughout New Zealand from sea level up to about 750 m. The juvenile form, which lasts for between 15 and 20 years, is very easily recognized. The leaves are stiff and leathery with a prominent central rib, about 1 cm wide and up to 1 m long with irregular teeth, all growing downwards from a central stem. The young trunk has characteristic vertical swollen ridges. As the tree gets older the stem begins to branch, producing a bushy top, and the leaves become wider and shorter, losing their teeth. It is only when the tree is mature that it adopts a typical tree shape. One of the theories about this curious change of appearance is that the young plant had to protect itself against browsing by the moa, the giant flightless bird that roamed New Zealand's bush in prehistoric times. Once above moa height, it was out of danger and turns int ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Pseudopanax Ferox
''Pseudopanax ferox'', the toothed lancewood or horoeka, is a small tree endemic to New Zealand. It is similar to the more common lancewood, ''Pseudopanax crassifolius'', but with more prominently tooth-shaped leaves. The juvenile leaves are a very dark grey-brown to grey-green colour, narrow, stiff and up to 40 cm long. Once the slow growing tree reaches maturity at 10 to 15 years, the leaf form becomes shorter, wider and dark green in colour. It is only in adulthood that the tree's shape changes from one central stem and downward growing leaves to a more typical tree shape with branches spreading to build a round head. A mature toothed lancewood can reach 6 metres height with a trunk of up to 25 cm in diameter. The mature trunk has distinctive longitudinal grooves which sometimes twist slightly. The tree is sometimes also called fierce lancewood in reference to its fierce looking saw tooth shaped juvenile leaves. Use Toothed lancewood used to be rare in cultivation ...
