Sophora. (Kowhai) NZ

KÅwhai are small, woody legume trees in the genus Sophora native to New Zealand. There are eight species, Sophora microphylla and S. tetraptera being the most recognised as large trees. Their natural habitat is beside streams and on the edges of forest, in lowland or mountain open areas. KÅwhai trees grow throughout the country and are a common feature in New Zealand gardens. Outside of New Zealand, kÅwhai tend to be restricted to mild temperate maritime climates. The word kÅwhai is also used in the MÄori language as a colour term, because of the yellow colour of the flowers. Despite having no official status as such, the blooms of the kÅwhai are widely regarded as being New Zealand's national flower.
