Plantae > Tracheophyta > Magnoliopsida > Asterales > Asteraceae > Olearia > Olearia macrodontaOlearia macrodonta (Mountain Holly)Synonyms: Eurybia dentata var. oblongifolia; Olearia dentata Olearia macrodonta (mountain holly or arorangi in New Zealand, or New Zealand holly elsewhere) is a small sub-alpine evergreen tree endemic to New Zealand, from the plant family Asteraceae. It is closely related to the narrow-leaved Olearia ilicifolia, with which it shares several characteristics including largely undulating and serrated grey-green leaves. These common characteristics mean the two species are often confused with one another. It is found in lowland to sub-alpine forests from the East Cape of the North Island of New Zealand southwards throughout the South Island and Stewart Island, at 450–1,200 metres (1,480–3,940 ft) in altitude. |
