It is closely related to the narrow-leaved ''Olearia ilicifolia'', with which it shares several characteristics including largely undulating and serrated grey-green leaves.

It is found in lowland to sub-alpine forests from the East Cape of the North Island of New Zealand southwards throughout the South Island and Stewart Island, at in altitude. ''Olearia macrodonta'' is a shrub to spreading small tree that grows tall. Its leaves are long, wide, with undulating and coarsely serrated margins, greyish green above.

''Ilex montana'', the mountain winterberry (or "mountain holly" which is more typically '' Ilex mucronata''), is a species of holly native to the Eastern United States, ranging along the Appalachian Mountains from southeast Massachusetts to northeast Alabama and northern Georgia. Synonyms include ''Ilex monticola''. Description ''Ilex montana'' is a deciduous shrub or small tree growing to tall. The leaves are 3–9 cm long and 2–5 cm broad, light green, ovate or oblong, wedge-shaped or rounded at the base and acute at apex, with a serrated margin and an acuminate apex; they do not suggest the popular idea of a holly, with no spines or bristles. The leaves turn yellow before dropping in late autumn. The flowers are 4–5 mm diameter, with a four-lobed white corolla, appearing in late spring when the leaves are more than half grown. The fruit is a spherical bright red drupe 8–10 mm diameter, containing four seeds.Brooklyn Botanic Garden''Ilex montana''/ref ...
