There are 28 described species in the genus and a number of undescribed species, all small, resinous trees of the subtropical and tropical Pacific Ocean, characterized by huge, simple leaves and a dioecious sexual system, a unique combination in Araliaceae. ''Meryta'' has its center of diversity in New Caledonia (11 endemic spp.). Phylogenetic analyses have placed ''Meryta'' as a monophyletic genus in one of the three major clades of the Araliaciae, the Polyscias- Pseudopanax group, and more specifically in the Pacific Schefflera subclade. Cultivation Cultivation of ''Meryta'' species is possible in tropical or subtropical climates. They are valued for their dramatic foliage and tolerance of coastal conditions. Species encountered in cultivation include '' M. denhamii'' and ''M. sonchifolia'', native to New Caledonia, '' M. latifolia'', native to Norfolk Island, and the New Zealand species ''Meryta sinclairii ...

Puka (tree)
''Meryta sinclairii'', the puka or pukanui, is a large-leaved evergreen tree endemic to New Zealand that grows to about 8 m tall, with the distinctly tropical appearance typical of the genus. There are about 27 species of ''Meryta'', all small, resinous trees of the subtropical and tropical Pacific Ocean. Puka occurs naturally on the Three Kings Islands (c. 34°S, 172°W) and the Hen and Chickens Islands (c. 36°S, 175°W) where it occurs in greater abundance in the relatively sheltered valleys, where soils are thick and conditions are relatively moist, rather than on the exposed ridge-tops. However, puka can also grow on cliffs with shallow, stony soils which suggests some tolerance of drought. Description The elliptical, thick, leathery leaves may be up to 50 cm long and 20 cm wide with a glossy upper surface. They are the largest entire leaves in the New Zealand flora. The petioles (leaf stalks) may be up to 35 cm long. The tree produces panicles of green-wh ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
