I have no idea where to even begin looking to figure out what this plant is. Growing on very poor soil in short manuka/ kanuka scrub.
A overall shot of the plant, it's hard to see in among the scrub but it's not very tall or wide spreading.
Looks like Leucopogon fraseri to me.
Hi Hirere, John is right, this is Leucopogon fraseri whch has different races throughout the country - this looks like the "lowland" ecotone race
