Griselinia lucida, commonly known as puka, akapuka or shining broadleaf, is an epiphytic plant native to New Zealand. It is found in wet lowland-forests and open or rocky coastal environments mostly in the North Island of New Zealand, and restricted areas of the South Island. It has large, asymmetrical, shiny, dark-green leaves, distinctive fluted roots and can grow up to 10–15 metres tall. The yellow-green leaves are thick and glossy and their width can be 5-12 cm long by 4-5cm wide. The greenish flowers are quite small and are borne on slim twigs from late spring to mid-summer. The dark purple or black berries can be 6-7 mm long and appear in mid-summer, ripening from autumn to winter. It grows faster in the building phase than the other phases and has an average height increment of 15 cm per year. The flowers are unisexual, with male and female flowers growing on separate trees. Pollen is transferred from one flower to another flower by wind and insects.
