Lophomyrtus
''Lophomyrtus'' is a genus of the myrtle family described as a genus in 1941.〔Burret, (Maximilian) Karl Ewald. 1941. Notizblatt des Botanischen Gartens und Museums zu Berlin-Dahlem 15: 489-490〕〔(Tropicos, ''Lophomyrtus'' Burret )〕 The entire genus is endemic to New Zealand.〔(Kew World Checklist of Selected Plant Families )〕 It consists of evergreen shrubs or trees, noted for their colorful leaves, which are purple, chocolate, red or bronze-green. There are also a number of cultivars. Planting in full sun aids the leaf color to develop. In cool climates, the plant may need to be placed in a sheltered area. This genus is closely related to the Australian ''Lenwebbia'' which also has four petals and similar though less colourful leaves.
== Species ==
Rama Rama (''Lophomyrtus bullata'') is an evergreen shrub or small tree up to 5 m tall. It occurs throughout the North Island of New Zealand and in the north of the South Island. It has glossy, heavily puckered (bullate) leaves and small creamy white flowers in summer that are followed by small, fleshy fruits that mature to a black-red shade. 'Maitai Bay' is a cultivar with especially showy red-brown foliage.
Rohutu (''Lophomyrtus obcordata'') also grows to around 5 m tall but is more tree-like in form. It occurs throughout New Zealand except for much of Southland. It has very small inversely heart-shaped (petiole at the pointed end) leaves and produces clusters of tiny white flowers in summer that are followed by small dark red to purple-red berries. The cultivars 'Dainty' and 'Microphylla' have pink-tinted leaves.
