Coprosma foetidissima, commonly known as stinkwood or hūpiro, is a shrub native to New Zealand.[1]
Coprosma foetidissima is found throughout New Zealand, from the coast to sub-alpine areas, including grassland and shrubland. Stinkwood is a dioecious plant, having both male and female plants. It flowers between August and October.[2]
The plant was named stinkwood and foetidissima because of the foul smell produced when the leaves are crushed.[3]
