"The traveller, from whatever country, on arriving in New Zealand, finds hiraselt 

 surrounded by a vegetation that is almost wholly new to him, with little that is at first 

 sight striking, except the Tree-fern and Cordyline of the northern parts, and nothing 

 familiar, except possibly the Mangrove; and as he extends his investigations into the 

 Flora, with the exception of Pomaderris and Leptospermum, he finds few forms that remind 

 him of other countries." J. D. HOOKER, " Flora Novae-Zelandiae," Vol. i ; Introductory 

 Essay ; Nov., 1853.
