There is a species of puha native to New Zealand. It is Sonchus kirkii, sometimes called NZ sowthistle or Coastal puha. Quite different from the introduced variety you often find as a unwanted weed in your garden.

∙ 11y agoYes, my Flora lists a pair of palm trees native to New Zealand, possibly remnants of when NZ was linked to New Caledonia and the tropics. This is the Nikau Palm Rhopalostylis sapida. R. cheesmanii is found on the Kermadec Islands in the north, not on the mainland.
These are plentiful enough as far south as the Wellington and Nelson/Westland ranges, and there indicate a generally frost-free microclimate.

Do possums kill native trees in New Zealand?
Yes. Possums are causing considerable destruction to New Zealand's environment, to which they were introduced in the 1800s. In New Zealand, possums are taking over native bushland, pushing out native species of birds, for which New Zealand is unique. Possums feed on the vegetation, reducing its availability for native species, and nest in the trees, forcing smaller species out. There are no natural predators of the possum in New Zealand, so their population has increased dramatically. Possums strip the native plants of leaves, buds, flowers, fruits and seeds, meaning less chances of propagation. New Zealand trees do not have defensive chemicals of some Australian native trees, meaning the possums can continue to eat from one tree until the tree has been severely affected. Many of these plant species are disappearing from the New Zealand forests, and allowing invasive non-native species to take hold of the forests.
