However, "totarar" is frequently used as a variant or misspelling of ( Podocarpus totara ), a massive and iconic tree endemic to New Zealand. 1. The Tōtara Tree (New Zealand)

In Māori culture, the tōtara is a symbol of strength and mana. A common proverb, " Kua hinga te tōtara i te wao nui a Tāne " ("A mighty tōtara has fallen"), is used to honor the passing of a great leader.

The wood is highly rot-resistant and was traditionally the primary choice for carving large-scale waka (canoes), intricate meeting house carvings ( whakairo ), and building tools.

The tree produces Totarol , a natural compound with potent antibacterial and antioxidant properties, often used today in high-end organic skincare and dental products. 2. Totara Learn (Educational Technology)
