Gingidia montana
Gingidia montana, or mountain aniseed, New Zealand aniseed, koheriki, Māori anise, native angelica, or naupiro, is a species of flowering plant,endemic to New Zealand. It used to exist across the North and South Islands, but is now quite rare in the North Island due to heavy grazing by introduced herbivores.
Found in both the North and South Island of New Zealand. It occurs from the sea to the subalpine biome, and prefers open grassland and riparian areas, although it is now mainly seen on rocky slopes in the North Island where it is safe from browsing. The species was recently downgraded to Declining status, in part due to its fragmented range.
