Quintinia serrata, the tawheowheo, is a species of evergreen trees in the genus Quintinia endemic to New Zealand.[2]
This plant has different patterns of anthocyanins (cyanidin 3-O-glucoside and cyanidin 3-O-galactoside) in its leaves to protect the shade-adapted chloroplasts from direct sun light.[3]
