It is a small-leaved evergreen shrub or tree which grows 2–3 metres (6 ft 7 in – 9 ft 10 in) high. It has very slender, more or less glabrous divaricating branches. The small leaves are petiolate with petioles from 2–5 millimetres (0.079–0.197 in) long. The leaves narrow suddenly at the petiole and may be up to 9 millimetres (0.35 in) long and 6 millimetres (0.24 in) wide with wavy margins or a few blunt teeth throughout South Island in lower montane forest and scrubland. The apetalous male flowers occur in axillary clusters of one to two on very short branches. Female flowers are found on their own at the ends of short branchlets. The fruit is an oblong drupe, yellow to white in colour and up to 6 millimetres ......read more on Wikipedia.
