Anyone know about Brazilia

| Hello my fellow gardeners down there. I am looking for information regarding Brazilia, or Frogs Balls, as I am told it is called. I grow cut flowers here in S. Oregon and saw a bouquet being made including this plant. I cannot find any information on its culture other than it is from New Zealand. If anyone, in that most beautiful country on earth, can give me any information, I would be most grateful. Thank you and happy gardening.

| Kat - I am willing to dialogue on this. What else can you tell me about the plant? (The ID you provided drew a blank first time round.) Was it an export from here? Was it shrubby or herbaceous? Which season? Flowers? Or foliage? (That sort of thing.) Back to you. |

Vetivert, thanks for the response. I realise that my description was a bit vague, so I will try to expand a bit but I did not see the plant close enough to touch it. It appeared to be shrubby, I think, and the 'balls' on it were pale green berries, small, about 1/8 inch perhaps even smaller, and there were lots of them bunched together, hence the reference to frog spawn. It had a lanceolate leaf I think. I would assume that the season would have been your summer as it was a late winter early spring bouquet and the bouquet maker said that it came from New Zealand. And that, is that! I would love to know more about it, obviously, but I cant get any information from any florist here.
Thanks.

| See if the name Berzelia brings up what you want. And this link could give you a contact for further info.
