Everything about Knightia Excelsa totally explained
Knightia excelsa,
Rewarewa in
Maori, or
New Zealand honeysuckle, is an
evergreen tree endemic to the low elevation and valley
forests of
New Zealand's
North Island and
Marlborough Sounds. Rewarewa grows to 30 m tall, with a slender crown. The
leaves are alternate, leathery, narrow oblong, 10 - 15 cm long and 2.5 - 3.5 cm wide, and without stipules. The
flowers are 2 - 3.5 cm long, bright red, and borne in
racemes 10 cm long.
It was called "New Zealand honeysuckle" by early
European settlers but the name has fallen into disuse in preference for the
Māori name. Rewarewa flowers are a great source for
honey production.
