Description

C. corrugata is a low growing (2-8 cm tall) leafless shrub consisting of yellow-green branches with blunt orange tips, forming a dense mat about 1 m wide. The branches are 1.5-3.5mm wide and grooved. The flowers are in pairs and are pink with a dark purple centre, and flowering occurs from October to May, with fruiting from November to June.[4]

Habitat

It is found on gravel and sand soils, stone and gravel ridges, river terraces, river beds, and disturbed sites.[4]

Taxonomy & naming

The species was first described by Colenso in 1883. The specific epithet, corrugata, is a Latin adjective meaning "wrinkled".[4] There are no synonyms.[4][2]

Conservation status

In both 2004 and 2008, it was assessed as "Not Threatened". In 2012, it was found to be "At Risk - Declining",[4] and by 2018 it was declared "Threatened - Nationally Vulnerable" under the New Zealand Threat Classification System.[1][4]
