Chatham island lancewood
Chatham island lancewood is characterized by its large, glossy, green leaves that span up to 20cm in length, arranged in a unique whorled pattern. Native to the Chatham Islands, this plant shows adaptability to its windy environment through a robust, woody stem that supports its broad foliage. When mature, chatham island lancewood blossoms small, inconspicuous flowers, highlighting its evolution for wind pollination rather than attracting pollinators.
