Which is a type of conifer, Taro or Phyllocladus?
Taro Taro ( ) commonly refers to the plant "Colocasia esculenta", the most widely cultivated species of several plants in the Araceae family which are used as vegetables for their corms, leaves, and petioles. Thus, this article describes the "dasheen" form of taro; another variety of taro is known as eddoe or "Colocasia antiquorum". Other species of taro include giant taro ("Alocasia macrorrhizos"), swamp taro ("Cyrtosperma merkusii"), and arrowleaf elephant's ear ("Xanthosoma sagittifolium").
Podocarpus laetus Podocarpus laetus is a species of conifer in the Podocarpaceae family, commonly known as Hall's tōtara, mountain tōtara or thin-barked tōtara. Previously known as "Podocarpus hallii" and "Podocarpus cunninghamii", in 2015 it was realised that the much earlier name "P. laetus" has priority.
