Wikipedia Abstract

Fuscospora cliffortioides, commonly called Mountain beech (Māori: tawhai rauriki), is a species of Southern Beech tree and is endemic to New Zealand. Mountain beech grows in mountainous regions at high altitudes. It was known as Nothofagus solandri var. cliffortioides prior to 2013. Mountain Beech grows to around 20 metres but near the treeline forms a "goblin forest" where the trees are no more than 2m tall. It also has leaves that are elongated and have a pointed end.
