Kawakawa , Macropiper excelsum , is a small tree of which the subspecies M. excelsum subsp. excelsum is endemic ecology endemic to New Zealand the subspecies M. excelsum subsp. psittacorum is found on Lord Howe Island , Norfolk Island and the Kermadec Islands . Description It is found throughout the North Island , and as far south as Okarito 43.20 S on the West Coast, New Zealand West Coast and Banks Peninsula 43.5 S on the east coast of the South Island . The leaves are often covered with insect holes. The images depict the variety majus which has larger and more glossy leaves than M. excelsum . The name Kawakawa in M ori refers to the bitter taste of the leaves, from kawa bitter. ref It has also been surmised that when M ori first came to New Zealand, they named the plant Kawakawa because they recognised that the plant was a close relative of Piper methysticum , the plant from which kava is made in the tropical Pacific . However, given that Macropiper species also occur in tropical Polynesia, it is more likely they simply applied the name of those plants to the New Zealand variety. In the Cook Islands and the Marquesas for instance, M.latifolium is known as Kavakava atua in Samoa it is called Ava ava aitu .
