What is "manoao"

n. Any of the conifers in the genus (taxlink Manoao genus noshow=1), endemic to New Zealand.

Manoao is a monotypic genus in the family Podocarpaceae. The single species, M. colensoi, known as '''Manoao '( Māori), silver pine, Westland' pine''', or white silver pine, is endemic to New Zealand. Before 1996 it was classified in genus Dacrydium or Lagarostrobos, but has recently been recognised as a distinct genus; some botanists still treat it in Lagarostrobos on the basis that it is not phylogenetically distinct from that genus.

M. colensoi is a slow-growing evergreen tree up to in height, in shady, wet areas of New Zealand. It is a source of fine, straight and durable timber.
