List Of Trees Of New Zealand
New Zealand
's long geological isolation means that most of its flora is unique. There are a wide variety of native
trees
, adapted to all the various micro-
climates
in
New Zealand
. The native bush (
forest
) ranges from the
temperate
rainforests
of the
West Coast
, the alpine forests of the
Southern Alps
and
Fiordland
to the
coastal
forests of the
Abel Tasman National Park
and the
Catlins
. In the early period of British colonisation, many New Zealand trees were known by names derived from the names of unrelated European trees, but more recently the trend has been to adopt the native
Maori
language names into English. For a listing in order of Maori name, with species and family names for most, see the
list in Wikipedia Maori
