Myrsine australis (USA)

Myrsine australis (A. Rich.) Allan, Trans. & Proc. Roy. Soc. New Zealand 76: 596 1947. ;
 

Myrsine australis, commonly known as Red Matipo or Mapou[1] is a species of shrub within the family Myrsinaceae. It is endemic to New Zealand and found throughout the country and offshore islands.[2] 

It has crinkly-edged leaves which make it easily mistaken for a pittosporum and reddish bark and stems, however reddish and purplish blotching on leaves is often a distinguishing factor.[2] 
Growing to around 6 metres in height, it inhabits bush margins and is often planted in regeneration projects.[1]
