Names obtained by Archdeacon W.L. Williams in East Cape district. "Most of them have been lost, owing to the introduction of the larger and more prolific kinds; but some few are still to be found in cultivation". Among the latter are Matakauri, Parakaraka, Pokerekāhu, and Toroamahoe.
Best 1925 says that Anutipoki is a synonym for Waniwani. Ngakau-kuri said to blossom at night.
