Cordyline pumilio

''Cordyline pumilio'', commonly known as the Dwarf cabbage tree, Pygmy cabbage tree or by its Māori names Tī koraha or Tī rauriki, is a narrow-leaved monocot shrub endemic to New Zealand. It usually grows up to tall,〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=New Zealand Plant Conservation Network )〕 although rare examples of 2 metres tall have been reported. It has with long leaves and can easily be mistaken for a grass or a sedge. ''C. pumilio'' grows in the north of the North Island from North Cape at 34°S to Kawhia and Opotiki at about 38°S, generally under light forest and scrub. It was cultivated by Māori as a source of carbohydrate and used as a relish to sweeten less palatable foods.
== Taxonomy ==
''Cordyline pumilio'' is the smallest of New Zealand's five native species of ''Cordyline''. Of the other species, the commonest are the common cabbage tree (''C. australis''), a tree up to tall with a stout trunk and sword-like leaves, the forest cabbage tree (''C. banksii'') which has a slender, sweeping trunk, and the mountain cabbage tree (''C. indivisa''), a handsome plant with a trunk up to 8 metres high bearing a dense, rounded head of broad leaves 1 to 2 metres long.〔 In the far north of New Zealand, ''C. pumilio'' is thought to have hybridised with ''C. australis''.〔Simpson 2000:69〕
The genus name ''Cordyline'' derives from an Ancient Greek word for a club (''kordyle''), a reference to the enlarged underground stems or rhizomes, and the species name ''pumilio'' is Latin for "dwarf". The common name Cabbage tree is attributed by some sources to early settlers having used the young leaves of related species as a substitute for cabbage.
The plant was well known to Māori, who cultivated it for its sugar-laden roots and stems before its discovery and naming by Europeans. The generic Māori language term for plants in the ''Cordyline'' genus is Tī, and names recorded as specific to ''C. pumilio'' include tī koraha and tī rauriki.〔Williams, H. W. (1971).
