Clianthus puniceus is a shrub with persistent leaves , one of the two species of Clianthus , which both have striking bunches of red flowers resembling the beak of Kākā , a New Zealand parrot. The plant is also known as the parrot's beak , de Bec de Parrot and lobster clamp . There is also a variety with white cream flowers.

It reaches approximately 2 m (6 ft 7 in high), with spreading branches producing leaf rods up to 15 cm (6 in) long bearing several pairs of small leaflets. They generally flourish from spring at the beginning of summer, but can flower twice a year or even all year round. ^[3] Its port chant means that it can be drawn against a wall. It requires shelter against frosts.

The Latin specific epithet Puniceus refers to the red-violet color of flowers. 

The species is in critical danger of extinction in the wild, known only on the island of Moturemu in the Port of Kaipara . ^[6] In New Zealand, it was previously widely cultivated as a garden plant, but was generally replaced by the most robust Clianthus Maximus . ^[7] However, he is cultivated in the Kingdom- A 59] Uni , where he gave birth to several Cultivars . The species ^[8] and the cultivar ' Roseus' ^[9] both won the Price of Merit of the Garden of the Royal Horticultural Society (confirmed in 2017) . ^[dix]
