Which genus comprises about ten species native to New Zealand and one native to Australia, Corokia or Trachelospermum?
Corokia Corokia is a genus in the Argophyllaceae family comprising about ten species native to New Zealand and one native to Australia. "Corokia" species are shrubs or small trees with zigzagging (divaricating) branches. In fact, "Corokia cotoneaster" is commonly known as "wire-netting bush". The stems of the shrubs are dark when mature, covered with downy or silky hairs (tomentum) when young. In spring, they produce clusters of small, star shaped yellow blossoms. Berries are red or yellow. The shrubs prefer forests and rocky areas, sun or light shade, reasonably well drained soil, and moderate watering.
Tristellateia Tristellateia is a genus in the Malpighiaceae, a family of about 75 genera of flowering plants in the order Malpighiales. Species of this genus are woody vines or sometimes shrubs with twining branches. "Tristellateia" includes one species in eastern Africa ("T. africana" S. Moore); a second species ("T. australasiae" A. Rich.) is widespread in southeastern Asia and also commonly cultivated as an ornamental. All other species are endemic to Madagascar.
