Meet the plant
Red Matipo

Red matipo, or mapou, is easily spotted by its warm red-tinged twigs and leaf stalks and its wavy-edged, yellow-green leaves. A common small tree of New Zealand forests and margins, it holds tiny gland-dotted leaves up to the light and studs its branches with small dark berries.

Red matipo (Myrsine australis), also known as mapou, is a hardy native shrub or small tree in the family Primulaceae, growing to around six metres. Its most charming feature is colour: the young branchlets and leaf stalks are flushed a warm red, contrasting with pale, wavy-margined leaves that are dotted with tiny translucent glands, visible when a leaf is held to the light. Clusters of very small flowers form directly on the wood, ripening to little black or purple fruits that feed native birds. Widespread and adaptable, it grows throughout New Zealand in lowland forest, scrub and forest margins, and is often among the first trees to return to regenerating land. Its springy wood and pretty red-and-green colouring have long made it a familiar and well-loved presence in the bush, a small tree that quietly helps knit the forest back together.

Frequently Asked Questions

 Explore Help Center
What is a stock flower essence?

A stock essence is the concentrated form of a single flower essence. It can be taken directly from the bottle or used to create a personalised blend.

First Light® stock essences are available as individual New Zealand native flower essences and combination essences, so you can choose and combine the essences to support how you are feeling or what you need help with.

How do I choose the right flower essence for me?

Start with how you are feeling and what you would most like support with right now.

You can explore keywords and information on each flower essence page, use the repertory to browse essences by feeling or need, or use the Constitutional Essence for a sense of inner balance and alignment.

If you would like a personal recommendation you can send us a message or book in for a no obligation free consultation.

How many essences can I combine?

Up to eight essences from No 1 to No 184 can be combined in a single personalised blend. No 0 Black Orchid can be added to any blend as a ninth essence.

This allows you to select a combination of essences to support the different emotional, energetic or personal growth needs.

Do flower essences contain alcohol?

Yes, generally flower essences contain a small amount of brandy, ethanol or grape as a natural preservative. To reduce the alcohol taste, add your drops to water.

How long does it take to notice a difference with flower essences?

It depends on the essence and the person. With an essence like Crisis Support for emergency or emotional first aid situations some people notice a difference within 15 to 20 minutes. Most people feel a shift within a few days. In general it takes about one month for changes to occur, and another month to integrate them.
