| Coprosma
robusta (karamu) is an uncommon, large woody weed
with large, quite thick, opposite leaves with pointed
apices. It differs from mirrorbush (C.
repens) in the leaf shape and texture
(mirrorbush has thicker, very glossy leaves that are rounded
with a blunt apex). It is also similar to the native species
C. hirtella
(coffeeberry), but differs in having larger leaves, with
less pointed tips. |
