It is a short shrub that grow to approximately 50 cm of tall,[4] and that can spread to form mounds of up to 2 m across.[5] Fruit are round and are white, pink or dark red in colour.[4] It can be found in both the North and South Islands, in scrub, tussock grassland and peat bogs, south of the Kaingaroa Forest.[6]
