Types of Entelea

Evergreen lime

The evergreen lime (Entelea arborescens) is a low-altitude tree endemic to New Zealand. It is fairly specific in its requirements for sunshine, warmth, and moisture. The wood is extremely light, similar to balsa and cork, and the Maoris used it for floats for their fishing nets. It is also used for buoys and the fenders of dinghies.
