Lacebark is a fast growing shrub or small tree that grows freely in lowland forests throughout the North Island of New Zealand. Clusters of sweetly scented white star-like flowers appear from January through March. The lace-like inner bark has been used for fine, decorative weaving – kete, headbands, trim on hats and cloaks. The bark was sometimes twisted and plaited into ropes.
