Corokia is a genus in the Argophyllaceae family comprising about ten species native to New Zealand and one native to Australia. Corokia species are shrubs or small trees with zigzagging (divaricating) branches. In fact Corokia cotoneaster is commonly known as wire-netting bush. The stems of the shrubs are dark when mature covered with downy or silky hairs (tomentum) when young. In spring they produce clusters of small star shaped yellow blossoms. Berries are red or yellow.
