  • 72 NATIVE PLANTS in a FENDALTON GARDEN Usually
    72 NATIVE PLANTS IN A FENDALTON GARDEN DEREK COOK AND WARWICK HARRIS Usually private gardens come and go with little record of their existence. Often their duration is short and determined by the period of care the gardener who created them is able to give to them. Through creating and caring for a garden, a gardener inevitably acquires knowledge of the plants in the garden and their requirements for adequate growth. While most gardeners are happy to show and talk to people about their gardens, few leave a written record of the knowledge they acquired about the plants they grew or attempted to grow in their garden. This is a record of plants of the garden of Derek Cook created at 27 Glandovey Road, Fendalton Christchurch. As described by Mary Lovell-Smith (2001) in The Press, it is a garden that was developed as a consequence of a passionate interest in native plants. The garden is a plant collector's garden. Consequently its form is determined by the objective to grow as many different species of native plant as possible, rather than a concern for decorative appearance. Through this approach information has been obtained about which native plants are most likely to succeed in a Christchurch garden. The first list (Table 1) prepared by Derek Cook recorded plants present in the garden in August 2000 that had survived "Christchurch frosts and dry nor'westers for 5-10 years." A list made in September 2001 recording acquisitions made since the list of August 2000 is given at the end of Table 1.

  • Species Present Are: Corokia Cotoneaster, Myrsine Divaricata, Coprosma Propinqua, Coprosma Rigida, Aristotelia Fruticosa, Melicytus Sp
    40 species present are: Corokia cotoneaster, Myrsine divaricata, Coprosma propinqua, Coprosma rigida, Aristotelia fruticosa, Melicytus sp. aff. alpinus (1.5 m tall) and Rubus cissoides. It is unlikely that a population known from a single plant will have survived, but in view of the species' endangered status a thorough search of the forest margins of the valley over a more extensive area would be worthwhile.

DSIR Publishing, Wellington GERMINATING MATAI SEEDS : AN INADVERTENT EXPERIMENT COLIN BURROWS Studying the germination habits of seeds is a bit like gold prospecting. A lot of hard, grinding work can be got through while achieving low returns. However, sometimes one strikes it lucky and a nugget turns up. Here I want to describe a chance discovery made about the germination of seeds of matai (Prumnopitys taxifolia). In mid-April 1988 I collected freshly-fallen matai seeds, still with the fleshy outer tissues present, from the ground under a big matai tree at Ahuriri Valley, Western Banks Peninsula. That was a very good year for matai seeding in lowland sites throughout Banks Peninsula. I had hoped to get the seeds ready for a controlled experiment in petri dishes in a glasshouse at the University of Canterbury. However my time was taken up with teaching and field trips so I washed the seeds (605 in all) in tap water and put them in a plastic bag under a bench in a shade-house. No direct sunlight reached them and otherwise the light intensity was low.

  • Vegetation of the North Cape Area, by J. M. Wheeler, P 63
    HE VEGETATION OF THE NORTH CAPE AREA by J. M. Wheeler The vegetation of the North Cape district appears to have received little attention firstly because of its inaccessibility and secondly because of the general impression given in the early writings of Kirk and Cheeseman that the area is uninteresting from the botan• ical point of view. The area is of considerable ecological interest, however, and the present study was initiated with the following aims: (i) To describe the varied plant communities present within a relatively re• stricted area, (ii) To describe the remnants of the Kerr Point vegetation known to exhibit a number of unique features, (iii) To investigate the vegetation dynamics on the cliffs and other eroded areas, and (iv) To construct a vegetation map and species list for future reference. LITERATURE The area was first explored by Colenso in 1839 who travelled north from Kaitaia to Cape Reinga, Spirits Bay and North Cape and collected several plants peculiar to the area. Later, between 1865 and 1867 the area was visited by Buchanan and Kirk. Kirk (1868) published the first notes and species lists by Buchanan and Kirk (1869, 1870) followed. A more extensive description of the district north of Whangaroa was given by Cheeseman in 1896. Mason (1952) extends the notes on the area north of Awanui to Spirits' Bay and the present notes apply to the area lying further to the east of this. LOCATION The area under consideration may be defined as that lying to the east of Tom Bowling Bay, including the high promontory of Kerr Point, North Cape island and the immediately southern and extensive Waikuku flat and bordering sandhills as shown in Fig.

  • NORTHLAND Acknowledgements
    PLANT ME INSTEAD! NORTHLAND Acknowledgements Thank you to the following people and organisations who helped with the production of this booklet: Northland Regional Council staff, and Department of Conservation staff, Northland, for participation, input and advice; John Barkla, Jeremy Rolfe, Trevor James, John Clayton, Peter de Lange, John Smith-Dodsworth, John Liddle (Liddle Wonder Nurseries), Clayson Howell, Geoff Bryant, Sara Brill, Andrew Townsend and others who provided photos; Sonia Frimmel (What’s the Story) for design and layout. While all non-native alternatives have been screened against several databases to ensure they are not considered weedy, predicting future behaviour is not an exact science! The only way to be 100% sure is to use ecosourced native species. Published by: Weedbusters © 2011 ISBN: 978-0-9582844-9-3 Get rid of a weed, plant me instead! Many of the weedy species that are invading and damaging our natural areas are ornamental plants that have ‘jumped the fence’ from gardens and gone wild. It costs councils, government departments and private landowners millions of dollars, and volunteers and community groups thousands of unpaid hours, to control these weeds every year. This Plant Me Instead booklet profiles the environmental weeds of greatest concern to those in your region who work and volunteer in local parks and reserves, national parks, bush remnants, wetlands and coastal areas. Suggestions are given for locally-sold non-weedy species, both native and non- native, that can be used to replace these weeds in your garden. We hope that this booklet gives you some ideas on what you can do in your own backyard to help protect New Zealand’s precious environment.

  • Airflow Around Some Newzealand Divaricating Plants
    AIRFLOW AROUND SOME NEWZEALAND DIVARICATING PLANTS ROGER B. KEEY1 & DANIELLE LIND2 1Chemical and Process Engineering Department, University of Canterbury, Private Bag 4800, Christchurch, New Zealand. 2Kingston Morrison Limited, PO Box 10 283, The Terrace, Wellington, New Zealand (Received 9 September 1996; revised and accepted 19 February 1997) ABSTRACT Keey, R.B. & Lind, D. (1997). Airflow around some New Zealand divaricating plants. New Zealand Natu­ ral Sciences 23:19-29. This study investigates the airflow patterns around four types of divaricating shrubs with differing branch struc­ tures. The plants were: Coprosma cheesemani (45° branched), Pittosporum obcordatum (right-angle branched), Myrsine oWaricata (weeping-branched), and CoroMa cotoneaster (zigzag-branched). The project in­ volved visualisation and measurement of the airflow patterns and wind velocities about simple and more complex models of the shrubs, as well as live specimens. From the visualisation of models based on cross-sections ofthe shrubs, there appeared to be calm zones, with reduced wind velocities, within their branch arrangements. Overall increases in complexity in the flow patterns and turbulence were seen as the wind speed increased up to 16 ms'1. Densely branched shrubs (such as C. cheesemani and C. cotoneaster) produced significantly more calmer zones; while regularly branched shrubs (such as M. divaricata and P. obcordatum) produced regularly spaced airflow patterns coinciding with their branches. These results could imply that densely branched shrubs have more favourable environments for growth of new leaves, flowers and fruit because of the lesser velocities. The drop in local wind velocity will also reduce convective transfer coefficients, thus affecting water loss. Further study is needed before firm conclusions can be made about transpiration rates within the branch network.
