Flax, or harakeke, is another indigenous New Zealand plant and it was grown, by both Maori and European settlers, for its valuable fibre. There is a Maori proverb about preserving important resources: “If you cut the central stalk of the flax bush, where will the bell bird feed?” They would only take some of the outer leaves to ensure an ongoing supply.
