      Yes, sorry about that. It looked like there were two species records with the same name, conflicting with each other. I had to delete both and create a new one manually. This may have triggered some emails, sorry about that. Posted 8 years ago

The Climbing rata

Metrosideros perforata,also known as white rata, climbing rata, akatea or Akatorotoro, is one of twelve Metrosideros species endemic to New Zealand. It is one of three white flowering rātā vines (the others being large white rātā and white rātā).

An example of a specific location of occurrence is within New Zealand's Hamilton Ecological District in association with such alliant understory plants as Blechnum discolor, Blechnum filiforme and Doodia media.
