Coprosma fatuhivaensis

This tree grows to about 7 meters in height, with young stems covered in short hairs. Its leaves are opposite, thinly leathery, narrowly elliptic, and measure 5.3 to 6.7 cm in length and 0.9 to 1.8 cm in width. The leaves have 8 to 9 pairs of secondary veins and a conspicuous reticulate venation pattern. Both leaf surfaces are hairless, with small, usually subcircular domatia near the midrib where secondary veins meet. The petioles are 0.7 to 1.1 cm long, and the stipules are approximately 2 to 2.5 mm long, mostly fused, and have weakly ciliate and dentate margins with colleters that may bear small tufts of hairs. The axillary inflorescences bear three flowers, which are 5 to 6-merous. Male flowers are unknown, while female flowers have peduncles up to 4.2 mm long, with a short-tubular calyx and a narrowly funnelform corolla. The fruit and pyrenes are unknown.
