Notes:The Black Tree fern is the largest of all tree ferns. The name might derive from the very dark color of the stipe of mature fronds or of the fiddleheads. It enjoys abundant moisture and although it can stand well the cold, it needs warm weather to develop a full, thick appearance. The plant has no secondary growth and no wood, yet, it has been often used as building material and for makeshift track work. The Maori names of this plant are Mamuku, Kat?t?, K?rau, or P?tau.
