Clianthus maximus
''Clianthus maximus'', commonly known as kaka beak (''kōwhai ngutu-kākā'' in Māori), is a woody legume shrub native to New Zealand's North Island. It is one of two species of ''Clianthus'' (kaka beak) and both have striking clusters of red flowers which resemble the beak of the kākā, a New Zealand parrot.
The species is endangered in the wild, with only 153 trees found in a 2005 survey (down from over 1000 in 1996), in the East Coast and northern Hawkes Bay regions.〔(Wild kaka beak close to extinction ), New Zealand Biodiversity, 23 December 2005. Retrieved 28 July 2008.〕
William Colenso described ''C. maximus'' in 1885, identifying it as distinct from ''C. puniceus'', the other kaka beak. However Thomas Kirk reduced ''C. maximus'' to a variety of ''C. puniceus'' (''C. puniceus'' var. ''maximus'') in 1899. Peter Heenan reinstated ''C. maximus'' as a separate species in 2000.
Prior to the 1990s, ''C. maximus'' was rarely cultivated, most stock available for cultivation being ''C. puniceus'' (then ''C. puniceus'' var. ''puniceus''). ''C. maximus'' is now widely available in garden shops in New Zealand, however,.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=''Clianthus maximus'' )〕
