There are many species of coprosma on the island. The flowers are creamy and insignificant and they are wind pollinated. The berries are brightly coloured and much prized by the birds. It can be difficult to tell the difference between the species but the little “leaves” called stipules that shield the growing tips vary between some species.
Stipules become dry and papery. Large orange red fruits 1-2.5cm long.
