Pseudowintera traversii, sometimes called Travers horopito,[4] is a species of woody shrub in the family Winteraceae.

[5][6] Pseudowintera traversii is a densely branched shrub growing up to 2 metres (6 ft 7 in) high.

[7] The green or yellow flowers appear in January,[10] growing singly or as doubles, or rarely triples,[7] with 5–7 petals and 4–9 stamens.

"[1] Naturally, it only is found growing in montane shrubland and woodland edges in the South Island in northwest Nelson between Westport and Collingwood.

[8] Pseudowintera traversii shares a pollinator (possibly a thrip) with P. colorata, as natural hybrids have been found where their ranges overlap.
