[[File:Melicytusramiflorus.jpg|thumb|left|230px|Whakaahua nā Gerald Sibelius]]Ko te '''Māhoe''' he rākau whakauru waimeha o [[Aotearoa]]. Ko ngā rau he matahua, he rahirahi. Ko ngā pua o te Māhoe he maha, he kaho, he itiiti. He porouri te āhua o ngā hua. E rua ngā rākau hika i te ahi a te Māori: ko te Māhoe tētahi, ko te [[Kaikōmako]] tētahi.
Ko te ingoa pūtaiao he ''Melicytus ramiflorus''. Ko ingoa [[reo Pākehā]] he ''Whiteywood'', engari he ingoa āhua tawhito tērā, ko Māhoe te ingoa e rangona whānuitia kētia ana i ēnei rā.
