'''''Manoao''''' is a [[genus]] of [[Pinophyta|conifer]]s belonging to the Podocarp family, ''[[Podocarpaceae]]''. The genus contains a single species, ''M. colensoi'', which is [[endemic (ecology)|endemic]] to [[New Zealand]], where it is known by its [[Māori]] name, '''Manoao''', or as silver pine, westland pine, or white silver pine. Before 1996 it was classified in genus ''[[Dacrydium]]'' or ''[[Lagarostrobos]]'', but has recently been recognized as a distinct genus; many botanists still treat it in ''Lagarostrobos'' on the basis that it is not genetically distinct from that genus.
''Manoao'' is a slow-growing [[evergreen]] [[tree]] which grows to 15 meters in height, in shady, wet areas of New Zealand. It is the source of fine, straight and durable timber.
