He tohu nui o Aotearoa te kōwhai (Sophora microphylla). Ka hōrapa tēnei rākau ki ngā pito o te whenua. Kitea ai te kōwhai ki ngā māra me ngā pāka puta noa. He tohu ngā pua o te kōwhai mō te kōanga, ahakoa te mea ka tīmata tana pua i te tōmuringa o te hōtoke me te tōmuatanga o te raumati. Ka muia te kōwhai e ngā manu kai ngongo pērā i te tūī me te korimako. Ka whakamahia e te Māori te kiri o te kōwhai hei whakapiripiri, hei inu hoki mō ngā mamae whakaroto.
