Its common name derives from the fact that its [[wood]] has a high [[silica]] content, making it hard and difficult to saw.&lt;ref name=&quot;Dawson and Lucas&quot;&gt;Dawson, John, and R.

It does not occur on [[Mount Taranaki/Egmont]]. The coriaceous, broadly ovate leaves range from 2.5 to 4cm long, and have from 8 to 12 pairs of coarse blunt teeth. The slate to dark grey bark is thick and furrowed. <br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> {{Reflist}}<br /> *Flora of New Zealand, URL:[http://floraseries.landcareresearch.co.nz/pages/Taxon.aspx?id=_c1345e69-561e-4b2c-b64e-c1852c6afb6f&amp;fileName=Flora%201.xml &#039;&#039;Nothofagus truncata&#039;&#039;].
