iNaturalist and GBIF media were skipped (not asked) when this page was built. Not asked, or not answered, is not "none": nothing here claims there is none. Why the site says it this way.GBIF's records not checked. GBIF's backbone holds no one accepted species of this name, and a name it holds only as another species' synonym is not taken for this one, so GBIF's records were not asked. So this page has no points on its map, no map marker, no habitat climate, no cultivation sheet and no species of nearest climate; the range is Kew's. Not a statement that none exist. How.
Summary
Coprosma autumnalis or C. grandifolia according to earlier Colenso authority, (In Māori: kanono, raurēkau or kawariki) is a native forest shrub of New Zealand. It is widespread in both the North Island and in the northern South Island, and has the largest leaves of any New Zealand coprosma. 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).
