Ko te Houhi puruhi he rākau whakaruruhau o Aotearoa. He whāiti, he itiiti ngā rau o tēnei rākau, he momo Houhere anō. Kei te tupu tēnei rākau ki Taranaki , ki ngā takiwā whakatetonga hoki. Ki ētahi, he rerekē anō te whakatakotoranga o te ingoa reo Māori nei, arā he Houhipuruhi. Ko te ingoa pūtaiao he Hoheria angustifolia, ko te ingoa reo Pākehā he Narrowleaved lacebark.

Hoheria angustifolia, the narrow-leaved lacebark or narrow-leaved houhere, is a species of flowering plant in the family Malvaceae, endemic to New Zealand. It is an evergreen tree or shrub with a weeping habit and grows to 10 m (33 ft) tall.[1][2] Known as Houhere or Houhi in Māori, the bark of the tree was occasionally used for traditional textiles, similar to the traditional use of Hoheria populnea.[3]
It is commonly described in literature with a diameter at breast height (DBH) of up to 30 centimetres (12 in), but botanist Hugh Wilson found a specimen in Hinewai Reserve with a DBH of 130 centimetres (51 in).[2] It has grey-green to dark green leaves, and white flowers from December to February. It has a divaricating small leaved habit while young until it gets to about 2 m (7 ft) high. The adult leaves are narrow and coarsely toothed hence the common name of narrow-leaved lacebark.[4] Distribution is larger than any of the other lacebark species and can be found mostly in the eastern South Island, and in the North Island from Taranaki down.[1]
Hoheria is derived from the Maori vernacular name for this genus, houhere or hoihere.[5]
Angustifolia means 'with narrow leaves'.[5]
