Among the New Zealand species are ▪ D. arboreum, Tree like growth to 10 m with a distinct juvenile phase. It is found in the Chatham Islands. ▪ D. fiordense, Western Otago and Fiordland. ▪ D. latifolium, Neinei or Spiderwood. Found throughout the North Island, from Mangonui southwards to North Taranaki and the Mahia peninsula, growing from sea level to 1,100 m. Usually found growing under kauri. ▪ D. lessonianum, Wi-wi, although it can grow up to 10 m high it most frequently is seen as a straggly shrub. ▪ D. longifolium, inanga or inaka.
