Pseudowintera axillaris, or lowland horopito is a species of woody evergreen flowering trees and shrubs, part of family Winteraceae. The species is endemic to New Zealand.

Pseudowintera axillaris can grow up to seven metres and has shiny leaves that are pale underneath (but not white). It flowers between September and December, and produces orange-red berries.

Lowland horopito is different from other pseudowintera species due to its relatively large leaf size and lack of blotching and lack of white colour on the leaf underside.^[1]
