About

Euphrasia cuneata, or North Island eyebright, is a perennial herb or subshrub in the genus Euphrasia, native to New Zealand. It grows to 60 centimetres (24 inches), with woody stems and white flowers with a yellow lower lip.

Where it grows

E. cuneata is endemic to New Zealand. It is found primarily in northern New Zealand, from East Cape, the easternmost point of the North Island, to the north-easternmost point of the South Island, the Marlborough Sounds. However, E. cuneata can be found as far south as Lake Ellesmere / Te Waihora in Canterbury. It grows from the coast up to subalpine areas at altitudes of up to 1,500 m (4,900 ft) in "open rocky places, stream-sides and among scrub."
