Quintinia elliptica
Quintinia serrata, commonly known as tāwheowheo, is a species of evergreen tree in the genus Quintinia. It is endemic to New Zealand.
This plant has different patterns of anthocyanins (cyanidin 3-O-glucoside and cyanidin 3-O-galactoside) in its leaves to protect the shade-adapted chloroplasts from direct sun light.
