A new species of Oreomyrrhis (Apiaceae) from southern South Island, New Zealand, and comparison of its limestone and ultramafic habitats

Oreomyrrhis basicola is described as a new species from southern New Zealand that is known from three subpopulations, each with small numbers of plants, and is, therefore, considered to be Nationally Endangered.

Threatened and uncommon plants of New Zealand (2008 revision)

Overall, the conservation status of the New Zealand indigenous vascular plant flora is worsening, with 7.6% of this flora now regarded as threatened with extinction.

Consequences of Alien N2-Fixers on Vegetation Succession in New Zealand

Alien N2-fixing species, with the ability to change soil fertility, and hence potentially facilitate a different suite of species to a successional sere, might be expected to have far-reaching consequences on natural successional processes, and ultimately ecosystem function.

Environmental and stomatal physiology of Nothofagus seedlings

This document summarizes current capabilities, research and operational priorities, and plans for further studies that were established at the 2015 USGS workshop on quantitative hazard assessments of earthquake-triggered landsliding and liquefaction in the Central American region.

Reproductive biology, ecology and conservation of Carmichaelia williamsii (Fabaceae), a vulnerable legume from New Zealand

Flower morphology and structure of C. williamsii is suited to a bird pollination syndrome as the floral parts are stout, the petals yellow, the nectar source is distant from the stigma, and the flowers lack scent, and experimental self- and cross-pollinations demonstrated that the species is self-compatible.

Impact of an exotic vine Clematis vitalba (F. Ranunculaceae) and of control measures on plant biodiversity in indigenous forest, Taihape, New Zealand

The exotic vine, Clematis vitalba L. (F. Ranunculaceae), has been in forest reserves around Taihape in the Rangitikei Ecological Region of the central North Island, New Zealand, for about 70 years.

Taxonomy, ecology, and conservation of Atriplex billardierei and A. hollowayi sp. nov. (Chenopodiaceae) in Australasia

Abstract A new, endemic species Atriplex hollowayi (Chenopodiaceae) is described from the North Island, New Zealand. It is distinguished from the Australasian A. billardierei by its smaller stature;

Comparison of a Common, Rare and Declining Plant Species in the Asteraceae: Possible Causes of Rarity

A number of rare native herbs appear to be disturbance-dependent, and it is suggested that C. lawsonianus may share with them highly specific ecological requirements that make both undisturbed and human-disturbed sites sub-optimal for their persistence.

THE DISTRIBUTION AND ABUNDANCE OF HIERACIUM SPECIES (HAWKWEEDS) IN THE DRY GRASSLANDS OF CANTERBURY AND OTAGO

In the last 30 years the tussock grasslands of the eastern South Island, New Zealand, have been extensively invaded by species of Hieracium (hawkweeds), especially H. pilosella, H. praeltum, H.

Lessons in Ecosystem Management from Management of Threatened and Pest Loranthaceous Mistletoes in New Zealand and Australia

Loranthaceous mistletoes are interesting because of their complex dependence on suitable host trees and avian dispersers and because of their patchy distribution at the landscape level. Although

A taxonomic revision of Carmichaelia (Fabaceae — Galegeae) in New Zealand (part II)

Eight species are recognised in the second part of a revision of Carmichaelia, the earliest name for the widespread shrubby broom which previous authors have segregated into numerous species.
