RESEARCH 4 TYPES OF PLANT GROUPS

1. Carnivorous plants
2. Pine trees 
3. Fruit trees
4. NZ Natives

You will need to do the following:

1. Title: NZ Natives
2. Examples: 

• 
  
•  Kauri Agathis australis, commonly known as the kauri, is a coniferous tree found north of 38°S in the northern districts of New Zealand's North Island. It is the largest (by volume) but not tallest species of tree in New Zealand, standing up to 50m tall in the emergent layer above the forest's main canopy.
• 
  
• Nikau palm  The nikau palm is the only palm species endemic to mainland New Zealand. Its natural range is coastal and lowland forest on the North Island, and on the South Island as far south as Okarito mostly in humidity (43°20′S) in the west and Banks Peninsula (43°5′S) in the east.
• 
  
•  Cordyline australisCordyline australis, commonly known as the cabbage tree, cabbage-palm is a widely branched monocot tree endemic to New Zealand. It grows up to 20 metres (66 feet) tall with a stout trunk and sword-like leaves, which are clustered at the tips of the branches and can be up to 1 metre (3.3 feet) long
• 
  
•  Rimu   The rimu is the most common native conifer you'll find around New Zealand. It can be found around much of the North Island and the lowland forests of the South Island, especially on the West Coast, where the densest populations can be seen. It's a tall tree that can reach heights of up to 50m (165f) when fully grown.

The pine tree is evergreen. evergreen is when the tree does not lose its leaves. The magnolia tree is Deciduous. That means that in winter the leaves go yellow and they fall off in winter. There is carnivore plants they eat bugs like the venus fly trap. When a fly comes and lands on it it will attack the eat it.
