Griselinia lucida

Griselinia lucida, commonly known as puka, akapuka or shining broadleaf, is an epiphytic plant native to New Zealand. G. lucida naturally occurs 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.

G. lucida has large, asymmetrical, shiny, dark-green leaves. It has distinctive fluted roots that descend down from the host trees the plant is growing in.
