Acaena emittens
Acaena emittens is a species of perennial plant limited to scrubland and forest clearings at an altitude of 450–1,500 metres (1,480–4,920 feet) in central North Island of New Zealand. This species was first described by Bryony Hope Macmillan in 1989.
Acaena comes from the Greek work akanthos, meaning thorn, because many species have a spiny calyx. Common names for it are bidibid and piripiri.
