Coprosma autumnalis

Coprosma autumnalis or C. grandifolia according to earlier Colenso authority, (In Māori: kanono, raurēkau or kawariki)[1] is a native forest shrub of New Zealand.

The name kawariki was applied after its leaves resembling those of the tropical Terminalia catappa which was once planted as shade for noble chiefs (ariki).

[3] Kanono is found in wet and shaded forest areas where it can grow to 6 metres high, with a slender trunk and stout branches.

[4] Kanono produces ripe orange fruit between February and May, then flowers around April.

[5] Māori have used the bark to produce a yellow colour for dyeing flax fibre.
