	Prumnopitys taxifolia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Prumnopitys taxifolia (Matai) is an endemic New Zealand coniferous tree.
		The seeds are dispersed by the Kererū (New Zealand Pigeon), which eats the 'berries' and passes the seeds in its droppings.
		It is distinguished from the related Miro (Prumnopitys ferruginea) by the shorter, slenderer leaves and the globose violet-purple cones.

	Prumnopitys - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Prumnopitys is a genus of conifers belonging to the podocarp family Podocarpaceae.
		This distribution indicates the origins of Prumnopitys in the Antarctic flora, which evolved from the humid temperate flora of southern Gondwana, an ancient supercontinent.
		Although the genus Prumnopitys was first described in 1861, was only from 1978 that it was widely distinguished as distinct from the allied genus Podocarpus, despite the marked differences in cone development with different parts of the cone structure becoming fleshy and berry-like.

		Prumnopitys andina reinstated as the correct name for "lleuque", the Chilean conifer recently renamed P. spicata (Podocarpaceae).
		is circumscribed broadly to include Prumnopitys Phil., the epithets of two of the three species discussed in this paper must be changed from those used legitimately under Prumnopitys.
		Full synonymies of the names for the Chilean and New Zealand species and a limited synonymy for that of the tropical South American taxon are given.

	Prumnopitys taxifolia description
		The finest examples I have seen are in Pureora and Whirinaki Forest Parks, where it can be seen along virtually any trail.
		I particularly recommend the track along the Whirinaki River south of Minginui, and the 'Hunter's Track' in Pureora, where it grows with rimu (Dacrydium cupressinum), kahikatea (Dacrycarpus dacrydioides), totara (Podocarpus totara), and miro (Prumnopitys ferruginea) in a pristine, very old forest with complex structure.
		March 1950, 958-959) examined material of P. spicatus from the centre of North Island and found no kaurene, 'the only diterpene isolated was phyllocladene in very small yield'.

		An embryological study is being done on two New Zealand podocarp species, Prumnopitys taxifolia (matai) and P.
		The tiered proembryo in these podocarps conforms to the basal plan more typical for conifers than the derived embryogeny of the Pinaceae.
		The unusual fertilization mechanism observed in these two species has only been observed in one other conifer, Prumnopitys andina, their closest Chilean relative.

	Horrocks & Ogden--Palynology and vegetation of Gibsons' Swamp
		13 000-10 700 B.P.) vegetation of the Ohakune-Horopito area was dominated by Prumnopitys taxifolia, indicating a cooler and probably drier climate than the present.
		Around 10 700 B.P., Dacrydium cupressinum replaced Prumnopitys taxifolia as the forest dominant, and tree ferns and hardwood trees expanded, suggesting a change to warmer or wetter conditions.
		Around 5800-6300 B.P., Dacrydium cupressinum and tree ferns declined, Prumnopitys taxifolia regained some of its former dominance, and hardwood species continued to expand, suggesting a change to more variable conditions.

		These are large trees with flattened needle-like leaves and with seeds enveloped by a fleshy layer derived from a cone scale.
		The mature seed is wrapped in a purple-fl flesh.
