Phormium colensoi (syn. Phormium cookianum – see below), also called mountain flax, or wharariki in Māori, is a perennial plant that is endemic to New Zealand.[5] The greenish, yellow or orange flowers are followed by twisted seed pods.[5] It is less common than the other Phormium species, P. tenax or harakeke. Mountain flax is also called whararipi, whatariki, mangaeka, kōrari tuauru (Williams 1971), wauraki (Bell 1890 sic.),[6] coastal flax, hill flax[6] and lesser New Zealand flax.[7]
