Shrub in Pukeiti Garden, New Zealand

Please identify this large shrub. It might be a Kiwi native.

 

could you please give me some more info. like what time was this taken.

 

It was mid-October

It was photographed in mid-October. Another post of mine may be involve the same species - the best photo there is: http://forums.botanicalgarden.ubc.ca/attachments/dsc02714compr-jpg.137583/

What I saw of the plant was limited due to heavy intergrowth with other plants. It was at least a shrub, perhaps 2 meters tall, but it might have been a small tree.

 

That's Hinau (Elaeocarpus dentatus). The teeth on the leaves vary somewhat in size. Those shown in your photo are quite large. You can see more mages on my website at

Thank you for the id!

Can I have your opinion on the very similar plant (photo: http://forums.botanicalgarden.ubc.ca/attachments/dsc02714compr-jpg.137583/

Is it also Hinau?

 

Yes, that's also Hinau.

 

Thanks again.
