description_en: Genus of 3 species of evergreen trees or shrubs from lowland to low mountain forest, one from New Zealand, 2 from New Caledonia. The leathery, entire or toothed leaves are arranged alternately and vary in shape with age: young plants have long, thin leaves; adults have shorter, thicker ones. Tubular flowers, with 4 petal-like tepals that roll up like springs, are borne in dense racemes. In frost-prone areas, grow in a cool or temperate greenhouse. In milder climates, use as a specimen tree.
