Coprosma dodonaeifolia

Coprosma dodonaeifolia is a resilient evergreen shrub with leaves that echo the narrow, lance-like shape of the willow. Its waxy, green foliage responds to its typically dry habitat by minimizing water loss, and its small, inconspicuous flowers adapt well to pollination by native fauna. The plant thrives in gravely soils, often found in coastal or rocky environments, showcasing nature's ability to flourish in challenging conditions.
