Androstoma empetrifolium, or bog mingimingi, is a species of plant endemic to New Zealand.[2][3][1]
Similar to mingimingis with leafy branches with alternating, short leaves. Shrubby, with red fruits.[1]
Range
Known from across New Zealand, on all three major islands and on some of the outlying groups.[1]
Habitat
This species is known to live on the coast to alpine environments, and is normally associated with wetland or bog, as the English name suggests. It can also be found on poorly-drained rocky areas at the alpine level.[1]
