Podocarpus laetus is a species of conifer in the family Podocarpaceae, commonly known as Hall's tōtara, mountain tōtara or thin-barked tōtara.[1] Previously known as Podocarpus hallii and Podocarpus cunninghamii,[2] in 2015 it was realised that the much earlier name P. laetus has priority.[3] Its common name results from the species being named after J. W. Hall, a New Zealand pharmacist.[1]
It is found only in New Zealand. It can be found growing in both montane and subalpine forests but less common in lowland forests.[1]
P. laetus is distinguished from the more widely known lowland tōtara by its thinner bark,[4] longer juvenile leaves and distribution at higher altitudes.[5][6]
