Coprosma quadrifida
Coprosma quadrifida is a dioecious shrub of the family Rubiaceae native to southeastern Australia. First described as Canthium quadrifidum by Labillardiere, it was given its current name by B. L. Robinson in 1910. Typically found at damp sites within woodlands, Eucalyptus forests or cool-temperate rainforests, it prefers sheltered slopes or sites near water sources. They are able to withstand frost and are salt tolerant. The species is also known as the Prickly Currant Bush.
Individuals of this species have been found in all eastern states of Australia, but it is more common in the south-eastern states (Tasmania, Victoria and in southern New South Wales), due to the more temperate climate.
