matipoa. Pittosporum tenuifolium?
Māori names
matipoa ? likely misspelling
Description
"a tree containing turpentine" (Taylor 1870)
Matipoa might appear to be a misspelling of matipou, though matipo [sic], Myrsine australis, is listed separately by Taylor.
Taylor could possibly be referring to Pittosporum tenuifolium, also know as Black Mapou, which has a resin that is somewhat turpentine like.
