DescriptionMetrosiderosrobustaKing.jpg	Branch of the Northern Rātā, (Metrosideros robusta), with flowers and leaves. A stick insect is crawling up the main stalk. The accompanying text reads: This is the monarch of the New Zealand forest, generally as large as the largest English oaks. It is originally a parasite, winding several coils round other trees until it has killed them and taken their place. The dead tree gradually rots, thus leaving the trunk of the rata hollow. In the end of the summer, each twig is covered with this flower, so that the whole forest bears a crimson tinge. This tree resembles the oak in its gnarled limbs, and is therefore much sought after by ship-builders for the knees and timbers of their vessels.
