Coprosma putida
Coprosma putida, commonly known as stinkwood, is a flowering plant in the family Rubiaceae. The Latin specific epithet putida means "stinking", alluding to the stench produced when the plant is cut or bruised, including the leaves and fruit.
The species is endemic to Australia’s subtropical Lord Howe Island in the Tasman Sea. It is common and widespread at all elevations in sheltered forest.
