单词	kauri
释义	kauri /ˈkaʊri / noun (plural kauris) (also kauri pine) A tall coniferous forest tree with broad leathery leaves, which produces valuable timber and dammar resin. It grows in warm countries from Malaysia to New Zealand. Genus Agathis, family Araucariaceae: several species, in particular A. australis of New Zealand. Timbers - jarrah, kauri, macrocarpa - were hand adzed to ‘give them a woody character, and the forest origin of the timber is not lost.’... The first Labour government, which presided over our centennial celebrations, saw the planting of many a kauri or pohutukawa. In the 21st century, thousands of people still come for the kauri, but they are sightseers, not hard-working foresters and settlers. Origin Early 19th century: from Maori. Rhymes cowrie, Lowry, Maori
