''Hoheria'' is a genus of six species of flowering plants in the family Malvaceae. All are endemic to New Zealand and the Kermadec Islands. The genus name is a latinization of the Māori language name, ''Houhere''. That name, as well as lacebark and ribbonwood, are often used as common names. The name lacebark comes from the lace-like fibrous inner bark layer.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.landcareresearch.co.nz/science/plants-animals-fungi/plants/ethnobotany/weaving-plants/information-sheets/houhere-lacebark )〕 ''Hoheria'' are mostly evergreen,with ''Hoheria glabrata''/ Mountain ribbonwood a deciduous species.
