Close-up of the flowers of the Kowhai (Sophora microphylla), one of two species of briefly deciduous spring-flowering New Zealand trees to share this name. The flowers often show signs of damage caused by bumble-bees, which as their tongues are too short to reach the nectar, instead cut into the flower. This species also occurs in Chile and the distance between these two locations is testament to the ability of the seeds to survive in saltwater. sophora-2142htm'>Sophora.
