A dwarf shrub with creeping and rooting stems. Leaves elliptical to rounded, faintly toothed, the teeth bristle-tipped, at least when the leaves are young. Fruits larger than in G. antipoda, being up to 2⁄3 in. wide, globular, white or red. A native of New Zealand, extending to about 6,000 ft; and of Tasmania, where it is less common, however. It should be hardy, but is said to be difficult and short-lived in cultivation.
