Bellbird tree

Bellbird tree (Pennantia corymbosa) is a small tree. It is called Kaikōmako from Maori meaning "food of the bellbird" because the New Zealand bellbird feeds on this plant's black fruits. This tree's wood performed an important role for the Maori because it acted as the base material for which a stick was rubbed to produce fire.
