  1. Coprosma

    Coprosma is a genus of about 108 species of flowering plant native to New Zealand, Hawaii, Borneo, Java, New Guinea, islands of the Pacific Ocean to Australia and the Juan Fernández Islands. Many species are small shrubs with tiny evergreen leaves, but a few are small trees and have much larger leaves. The flowers have insignificant petals and are wind-pollinated, with long anthers and stigmas. Natural hybrids are common. The fruit is a non-poisonous juicy berry, most often bright orange, containing two small seeds. It is said that coffee can be made from the seeds, Coprosma being related to the coffee plants. A notable feature is that the leaves contain hollows in the axils of the veins; in these, and on the leaf stipules, nitrogen-fixing bacteria grow. In addition the hollows, or domatia, encourage certain kinds of mites to take up residence, which feed on and reduce parasitic fungi which attack the leaf. The name Coprosma means "smelling like dung" and refers to the smell given out by the crushed leaves of a few species. The orange fruit of the larger species were eaten by Māori children, and are also popular with birds.
