ngaio

ngaio
myoporum laetum
<2NGAIO.JPG">
A common small bushy coastal tree reaching 10m in height. These very poisonous plants mainly grow near the sea, either wild or in cultivation. They are easily identified by the numerous pale leaf spots seen when held to the light, and by the purple berries. Both the native ngaio (M. laetum) and Australian ngaio (M. insulare) should be regarded as equally harmful.
