Open divaricating shrubs to 4 m tall. Bark rough pale brown off one of 44 shrubs seen of this species - the largest known population in the Rangitikei Region. Four of the shrubs were < 1 m tall (rare to find wild juveniles). Collector: C.C. Ogle; but found here three weeks earlier by Phyllis Leigh who came with us on 14 March 2014.
