Coprosma areolata, commonly called thin-leaved coprosma, is a shrub that is native to New Zealand. C. areolata grows in wet, lowland forest and can also grow in exposed places.[1] Coprosma is from the Greek kopros 'dung' and osme 'smell', referring to the foul smell of the species, literally 'dung smell'. And areolata is netted, with a network pattern between the veins.[2]
