caption_attribution_description: English: Five wood roses (attachment points of the New Zealand parasitic plant Dactylanthus taylorii on the root of its host tree)
context_page_description: Pittosporum tenuifolium is a small evergreen tree – up to 10 m – commonly known as kōhūhū and black matipo, and by other Māori names kohukohu and tawhiwhi. Its small, very dark, reddish-purple flowers generally go unnoticed, and are scented only at night. The Latin tenuifolium means "slender-leaved"
context_section_description: Kōhūhū has the potential to be used as the host of the threatened root parasite plant wood rose – Dactylanthus taylorii. Wood rose was recently successfully translocated and sown in the wild from seed, showing the largest success rate when planted in association with kōhūhū.
