Mingimingi is a Māori word meaning "twisted" or similar.[1] The name is used to describe at least three different New Zealand species of plants:

• Coprosma propinqua (Mingimingi), a widespread small leaved shrub.
• Leucopogon fasciculatus (Tall mingimingi), a forest shrub.
• Leptecophylla juniperina (Prickly mingimingi, formerly Cyathodes juniperina), a low spreading shrub.

The three species are not closely related and are quite different in appearance, but all three produce small edible berries with a similar sweet but somewhat bland flavour, and are among the more common New Zealand native shrubs with edible fruit.[2]
