Corokia cotoneaster is a tangled shrub evergreen divaricating shrub endemic to New Zealand. It is naturally occurring throughout NZ in dry and stony places.

This much-branched shrub grows to 3m with a tangle of tortured branches covered with smoky green leaves. It has small, simple open star-like yellow flowers (5 to 8mm diameter) in spring then red, yellow or orange drupes in autumn.
