Now denuded of all vegetation, it exposes its bald, grey, lime head for all to see. Until about 1912, when it was purchased by Wilsons Portland Cement Company, this hill was green and beautiful, and gave </span><span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'&quot;>its name <em>Tikorangi </em>to the surrounding district.</span></font></p><p><font color=&quot;#000000&quot;></font><font color=&quot;#000000&quot;><span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; letter-spacing: 0.15pt&quot;>According to the local Maori authorities, Tikorangi was so named because of white, jelly-like </span><span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; letter-spacing: -0.05pt&quot;>balls about six inches in diameter, that used to be found on the mountain.
