Manoao /ˈmɑːnoʊaʊ/ MAH-noh-ow[2] is a monotypic genus in the family Podocarpaceae. The single species, M. colensoi, known as manoao (Māori), silver pine, Westland pine, or white silver pine, is endemictoNew Zealand. Before 1996 it was classified in genus DacrydiumorLagarostrobos, but has recently been recognised as a distinct genus; some botanists still treat it in Lagarostrobos on the basis that it is not phylogenetically distinct from that genus. In molecular phylogenetic analyses Manoao was found to be related to Parasitaxus (a parasitic and monotypic genus from New Caledonia) and Lagarostrobos (a single species from Tasmania when narrowly defined), but their exact relationships are unresolved.[3]

Manoao colensoi is a slow-growing evergreen tree up to 15 m (49 ft) in height, in shady, wet areas of New Zealand. It is a source of fine, straight and durable timber.

Distribution

[edit]

M. colensoi can be found in the North Island from Te Paki southwards to Mt Ruapehu.[4] However it is common only in the central North Island.[4] It is also found in the western South Island.[4]
