This species is believed to have diverged from its New Zealand counterparts approximately 4.1Mya. It then diverged from Jovellana violacea about 1.0Mya. [5]
Jovellana punctata is a semi-evergreen plant that has red stems with toothed, bright green leaves. [3]
Its flowers are white, light pink or light lilac and can grow up to be 1.5m tall and can spread 0.6m. [3] [4]
