Coprosma foetidissima, commonly known as stinkwood or hūpiro, is a shrub native to New Zealand.
Coprosma foetidissima is found throughout New Zealand, from the coast to sub-alpine areas, including grassland and shrubland. Stinkwood is a dioecious plant, having both male and female plants. It flowers between August and October.
The plant was named stinkwood because of the foul smell produced when the leaves are crushed.
