Vernacular names
русский: АльсевозмияAlseuosmia is a genus of five species of flowering plants in the family Alseuosmiaceae, growing in New Zealand's North Island.[1] Species members are characteristically small evergreen shrubs.[2] An example occurrence of species representative Alseuosmia macrophylla is in the habitat of the Hamilton Ecological District, where Blechnum discolor and B. filiforme are understory elements with a Nothofagus truncata and Dacrydium cupressinum overstory.[3]

Alseuosmia was first described in 1839 from specimens collected in Northland forests by Cunningham.[1] Other species are A. banksii, A. pusilla, A. quercifolia, and A. turneri.[1]

A. quercifolia is the most common of the species in lowland native forest of Waikato, sometimes known as A. Hakarimata. It is an endemic shrub, found north of 38°05’S, up to 2.5 m (8 ft 2 in) tall,[1] though usually under 1 m (3 ft 3 in). It has red or pink flowers of 5 petals,[4] clustered at base of leaves,[5] giving a strong scent.[6]
