Pseudowintera is a genus of woody evergreen flowering trees and

shrubs, part of family Winteraceae. The species of Pseudowintera are

native to New Zealand. The Winteraceae are primitive dicots,

associated with the humid Antarctic flora of the southern hemisphere.

* P. axillaris is known as the lowland horopito. It is a shrub or

small tree reaching up to 8 meters in height. It is distributed in

lowland and lower montane forests from 35º to 42º south latitude. On

the South Island it grows west of the divide.

* P. colorata is an evergreen shrub or small tree commonly known

as the Pepperwood(Due to it's leaves having a very hot bite to them)

or mountain horopito, 1 to 2.5 meters high, with yellow and green

leaves blotched with red, and bright red new leaves in the spring. It

is widespread across New Zealand, from lowland forests to higher

montane forests, and from 36º 30' south latitude southward to
