Coprosma areolata, commonly called thin-leaved coprosma, is a shrub that is native to New Zealand. C. areolata grows in wet, lowland forest and can also grow in exposed places.{{cite web|title=Coprosma areolata|url=http://www.forestflora.co.nz/Plant%20profiles/Coprosma%20areolata.htm|publisher=Forest Flora|access-date=7 September 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130207095448/http://forestflora.co.nz/Plant%20profiles/Coprosma%20areolata.htm|archive-date=7 February 2013|url-status=dead}} Coprosma is from the Greek kopros 'dung' and osme 'smell', referring to the foul smell of the species, literally 'dung smell'.
