Coprosma elatirioides

Coprosma elatirioides is known for its tough, glossy leaves that glisten in the sunlight. This resilient shrub thrives in the challenging coastal cliffs, where salt-laden winds sculpt its dense, compact form. Its small, inconspicuous flowers are a subtle highlight, but it's the bright orange-red berries that catch the eye, providing a stark contrast to the dark green foliage and beckoning birds that aid in their seed dispersal.
