Coprosma (Greek name referring to the fetid odor of the plants). Rubiaceae. Shrubs or small trees, often trailing, of New Zealand, Australia and Polynesia, sometimes planted for the pretty fruit or variegated leaves. Leaves opposite, mostly small, stalked or almost sessile: fls. small, solitary or fascicled, white or greenish, dioecious; corolla-limb 4-5-lobed, the lobes revolute: stamens 4-5: fr. an ovoid or globose usually 2-celled drupe.—About 60 species mostly in New Zeal., extending to Borneo, Hawaii and Juan Fernandez. Coprosmas are greenhouse plants in the North, but they are rarely cultivated. Propagated by hardened cuttings. The soil which is found among kalmia roots, mixed with good loam and sand, if necessary, will suit these plants. Cuttings should be rooted in moderate heat in spring, before growth begins. If placed under a handlight or propagating-frame, care must be taken to prevent damping, to which the cuttings are liable. (G. W. Oliver.) CH
