==Species== *''[[Pseudowintera axillaris]]'', is known as the '''lowland horopito'''. It is a shrub or small tree growing up to eight metres tall in lowland and lower montane forests from 35Β° to 42Β° South. In the [[South Island]] it grows West of the Main Divide. *''[[Pseudowintera colorata]]'', or '''mountain horopito''', is an evergreen shrub or small tree (1β2.5 m) commonly called '''pepperwood''' because its leaves have a very hot bite. Its yellow and green leaves are blotched with red; new leaves in the spring are bright red. It is widespread throughout New Zealand, from lowland forests to higher montane forests, and from 36Β° 30' South as far southwards as [[Stewart Island / Rakiura]]. Because of its various uses, both medicinal and culinary, the name horopito when used in common speech normally refers to the colorata species. *''[[Pseudowintera insperata]]'', a rare species first identified in 2006,<ref name="Heenan"/> found in the [[Northland Region]].<ref name="MeaningTrees">{{cite Q|Q118646408|pp=28-31}}</ref> *''[[Pseudowintera traversii]]'', or '''Travers horopito''',<ref name="BIOL226C">{{cite web|last1=Gemmill|first1=Chrissen|last2=Clarkson|first2=Bruce|last3=Green|first3=Allan|last4=Beard|first4=Catherine|last5=Burns|first5=Bruce|last6=Holzapfel|first6=Avi|last7=Hicks|first7=Brendan|title=Winteraceae|url=http://cber.bio.waikato.ac.nz/courses/226/Winteraceae/Winteraceae.html|website=BIOL226C Flora of New Zealand|publisher=University of Waikato|accessdate=6 February 2018|location=Hamilton, New Zealand|language=English|date=1 March 2006|quote=''Pseudowintera traversii'' (Travers horopito) Compactly branched shrub up to 2m tall.
