toropapa, matuku-roimata 

alseuosmia

The flowers of Alseuosmia spp. are very fragrant.

Toropapa leaves are extremely variable in leaf shape. The shrub is often confused with unrelated speices such as horopito, ramarama, maire and pigeonwood.

For instance, Alseuosmia pusilla (matukuroimata) bears a strong resemblance to small plants of Pseudowintera axillaris (horopito)
