Coprosma areolata (Cheesem.)
Rubiaceae

Derivation:

Coprosma = smelling of dung - some species but not all;
areolata = forming a network, from the leaf vein pattern

16 October 2005 Omeru Reserve, Makarau.

Growing along banks of the streams there. Plentiful.

Note leaf venation, and pointed tip to leaf which will differentiate it from other small-leaved Coprosmas.
