It is one of a number of New Zealand Metrosideros species which live out their lives as vines, unlike the northern rata (M.robusta), which generally begins as a hemi-epiphyte and grows into a huge tree. It is part of the subgenus Mearnsia, unlike the main tree species that belong to Metrosideros subspecies Metrosideros."@en . . "Metrosideros diffusa"@en . "(Turcz. ex Hook.f.)" . "(G.Forst.)" . .
