# Talk:Prumnopitys taxifolia

Someone from New Zealand want to flesh this article out?  WormRunner 04:54, 15 Nov 2003 (UTC)
At Happy Valley Adventures near Nelson at the top of the South Island grows what is believed to be the oldest Matai tree in the country. It stands some 40m tall and has been aged between 1800 and 2000 years old. It is healthy and regularly bearing fruit. 
It can be seen on any of the quad bike tours run by Happy Valley Adventures and also by visitors travelling through the bush by van to experience the "Skywire" thrill ride, which is the world's longest flying-fox.
For more information about viewing this tree named "Mareikura" (Maori for Noble Lady) contact the owners, Keith & Jill Anderson on 03 545 0304 or by email at info@happyvalleyadventures.co.nz.
Update April 2014 - sadly a violent wind storm has now felled this wonderful specimen. Other old matai trees are nearby, but not quite of the size and age of "Mareikura" (Maori for Noble Lady).

### Notes
The lead is very selective with its information. It includes the info about that 2012 study but doesn't include info about its 2019 reclassification, which one could argue is more important. It also doesn't include anything about its uses
Done. Adding its uses is a good idea. Alexeyevitch(talk) 03:50, 31 August 2025 (UTC)
The taxonomy section should have some reorganization done. I did this in a previous edit but you reverted it. I reorganized it because the leading paragraph of the section is basically just more taxonomic history, so I merged them. You could also merge the Distribution & Ecology sections since they are related
Quite honestly, I like the organization in the taxonomy section, as it makes the text looks less chunky and organized. Alexeyevitch(talk) 03:50, 31 August 2025 (UTC)
There's no source for the Taylor quote

### Spot check
[16] - X
The figure in this study shows that a clade containing P. ferruginea and P. ferruginoides are the closest relatives of the species, not P. montana.

Check figure 6 in the cited reference (Khan et al). Alexeyevitch(talk) 03:50, 31 August 2025 (UTC)

I think the page number given is incorrect. The source mentions D. mai on page 213, not 212.

Done. Alexeyevitch(talk) 03:50, 31 August 2025 (UTC)
[25] - good
