pohutukawa- Metrosideros excelsa- A tree that blooms red flowers around christmas, Called New Zealand Christmas tree. Alternate spelling (pohutikawa) seen before
gallus-a form of "gallows" and it has come into use as an adverb of forcible emphasis in much the same way as "bloody" has---"gallus bad weather we be getting."
looking at the word I would agree with you on the "n" in 'sanguine' and the "o" in 'cartilagino'but my only resource doesn't agree. However if I were to spell it I would agree with you.
According to my resource it is spelled correctly with 51 letters but I'm always open to correction with a referenced source.Thanks for staying on top of it.
