About

Bulbinella hookeri, commonly known as the Māori lily, is a species of flowering plant in the family Asphodelaceae. It is endemic to New Zealand; its range covers the North, South, and Stewart Islands. It is commonly found in tussock grasslands, and in soils with high water content. B. hookeri reaches a height of up to 120 cm (50 in) tall. B. hookeri was first described in 1851 by the botanists Joseph Dalton Hooker and William Colenso as Chrysobactron hookeri. It gets its specific epithet, hookeri, after Hooker, who first described the species with Colenso.
