Jan Barker- Corokia

$530

Argophyllaceae

The Corokia (Korokio) I painted was from my garden.  I am interested in the use of plants by the Maoris for medicine.  The Korokio leaves are boiled and used to treat stomach ache.  The wood contains a major compound of an American proprietary drug used to lower blood cholesterol levels. The very small fine flowers I have painted using a micro nova brush 20/0.
