 Metrosideros fulgens (Scarlet rātā[citation needed] rātā vine) is a forest liane or vine endemic to New Zealand. It occurs in coastal and lowland forest throughout the North Island and on the west coast of the South Island. It is one of a number of New Zealand Metrosideros species which live out their lives as vines unlike the northern rata ( M.robusta) which generally begins as a hemi-epiphyte and grows into a huge tree.
