Azorella polaris
Also called Punui
Macquarie Island cabbage is a large, fleshy-leaved perennial megaherb in the carrot family, native to cold subantarctic islands. It is a cold-climate plant that is not commonly grown as a garden or houseplant, so care depends on cool, wet, exposed conditions.
Azorella polaris, commonly known as the Macquarie Island cabbage, is a species of flowering plant usually placed in the family Araliaceae or Apiaceae and only very distantly related to cabbage. It is a megaherb, growing up to about a metre in height, native to the subantarctic islands of New Zealand and to Australia's Macquarie Island.
A. polaris is native to two subantarctic island groups of New Zealand, Campbell Island and Auckland Islands, as well as the Australian subantarctic island, Macquarie Island.
