This is a large and old sweet Michelia growing in the northern section of the Mappin Lawn at Government House. In near full flower, August was definitely a good time to measure this tree. It is the largest one I have seen in Auckland. Please see record AR/G1141 for expanded notes about the history of the site. (VanWijngaarden, R. 2013)
