Dysoxylum spectabile (New Zealand cedar, New Zealand Mahogany)
Tree found in lowland forest. Produces scented orchid-like white waxy flowers during May and June (in Auckland) on long streamers (called panicles), which can be up to 60 cm in some cases, directly from the branches and the trunk. Flowers and fruit are popular with tui, bellbird, stitchbird and waxeye in early Winter. Possums ravage this tree. This is the only NZ species of a genus of 200 south-east Asian trees.
