Olearia macrodonta New Zealand Holly I
This introduced shrub from New Zealand tends to grow by the sea and is dotted around the coast. It is found most commonly in Southern Ireland and the Isle of Man. The leaves look quite holly shaped but not anywhere near as prickly as our own Ilex aquifolium (Holly).
