There is a fossil pollen record going back much further, but it has been shown that Metrosideros pollen is very similar morphologically to many other genera within the family Myrtaceae and as such, fossil pollen cannot be reliably used as the oldest record of the genus. The oldest conclusive record of Metrosideros are fossil fruits and flowers of Metrosideros leunigii , an extinct species, from Oligocene aged sediments in Tasmania, Australia. This

These fossils may also point towards an Australian origin for the genus. Metrosideros are often cultivated for their showy flowers, as street trees or in home gardens. The flowers are generally red, but some cultivars have orange, yellow or white flowers. Some names listed in horticultural catalogues and other publications, such as M. villosa and M. vitiensis , are actually

352-575: The Azores . Metrosideros kermadecensis is recently naturalised in Hawaii, and has the potential to become a pest. In turn, various cultivars of M. collina and M. polymorpha are widely grown in New Zealand under various names.
