Coprosma waima

Coprosma waima, is a nationally endangered shrub of New Zealand. In the wild it only occurs in the Waima forest in the Northland Region.

C. waima grows to 1-3 metres high at altitudes of around 700 metres above sea level.[1]

Because it is liked by browsing animals such as goats and possums, it is mostly found on cliffs.
