not sure if the terminology's botannically accurate, but it's the maori name for the curled-up bud (?) of a fern frond. it has a kinda spiral shape. i'm not au fait with any symbolism attached to it.

cameron, there's some big old new ChCh art gallery designed to be "sinuous", apparently, like unto the forms of the koru and the river Avon: a curled-up frond wd be sinuous of look w/o necessarily having to be symbolic even, possibly

(i am fact-checking, which requires intimate knowledge of every language ever *sigh*)

(i have nothing against words in maori of course but my instincts for their meaning and spelling are somewhat underdeveloped)

the koru is a symbol of new beginnings etc, it is like cameron said a furled fern frond. also good to eat if lost in the bush apparently tastes like asparagus. the new art gallery here in chch dont look like a koru to me but i aint seen an aerial shot of it.its nowhere near the river either....

I guess you've probably seen this Mark, but for those of you interested, here's the gallery in question:
