Flowers 2cm wide with yellow radiating petals in loose clusters. DISTRIBUTION Endemic. Confined to the South Island where it is endemic to North West Nelson SIMILAR TAXA Very close to Brachyglottis greyi (Hook.f.) B.Nord. and best distinguished from that species by the small “tails” at the end of sagitate anthers. Ecologically it is a montane to subalpine species and is never found in coastal situations. Plants also, as a rule, have longer broadly lanceolate leaves FLOWER COLOURS Yellow PROPAGATION TECHNIQUE Easy from fresh seed or semi hardwood cuttings. Does best in full sun and benefits from a heavy pruning after flowering. Will hybridise readily with most other Brachyglottis so if pure seed is wanted keep plants well apart ETYMOLOGY brachyglottis: Name comes from the Greek words brachus meaning “short” and glottis meaning “the vocal apparatus of the larynx” laxifolia: Soft-leaved NOTES ON TAXONOMY Some botanists consider B. laxifolia is better treated as a subspecies or variety of B. greyi, partly because they are allopatric taxa. However, B. greyi does not have “tails” at the ends of the anthers, and so, until a through revision of the genus is completed it seems wise to retain B. laxifolia at the rank of species.

Brachyglottis Heeft Zomer- Tweede Tong of Lip (Zoals Aanwezig Bij Onder Andere De Bloemen Van Orchideeën)
BOOMKWEKERIJ In de winter opvallend met het viltige grijze blad en in de zomer vrolijk kleurend door een overdaad aan gele ‘mar- grieten’. Brachyglottis is een plant voor twaalf maanden tuinplezier die het op een beschutte standplaats prima naar de zin heeft.

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.

Deer Resistant Plant List
Victoria Master Gardener Association 1 Deer Resistant Plant List The following information has been drawn from a variety of sources including: the Island Specialty Nursery Catalogue, 1999; The Island Grower, August/September, 1994; Cannor Nursery; The Home, Yard & Garden Pest Newsletter, University of Illinois Extension, 1997; Sunset Western Gardener; “Living with Wildlife in the Pacific Northwest” by Russell Link (University of Washington Press) and Dinter Nursery. General comments about deer-proof plants: • The most reliably deer-proof plants are those with acrid sap like Euphorbias; strongly scented foliage like lavender, sages and oregano; dry-loving plants like Cistus and Halimium; fuzzy leafed plants like Stachys and Pulmonaria; also most plants with grey/silver foliage such as dusty millers. • Deer use their sense of smell to detect predators. Strongly scented plants may “confuse” deer’s sense of smell, which makes them uneasy. Plants with strongly scented foliage may therefore act to deter deer from an area. Consider several plants with varying strong scents planted around the deer’s usual pathway to your property, and as a perimeter around other plants as a possible protective/deterrent strategy. Good candidates include santolina, helichrysum italicum (curry plant), Ruta graveolens (Jackman’s rue), Lantana, and very aromatic herbs like thyme and oregano. • Plants not browsed for years can fall prey whenever food is in very short supply and the deer are desperate. Deer will “remember” these plants as edible and may start browsing them regularly in future years. Some gardeners have successfully planted a perimeter garden of “deer fodder” to provide food so the garden plants are left alone.

New Zealand Plants in Australian Gardens Stuart Read (Updated 27/5/2018)
New Zealand Plants in Australian Gardens Stuart Read (updated 27/5/2018) Abstract: (11.6.2013): Raised in a large New Zealand garden full of native trees, plant lover Stuart Read was perhaps hard-wired to notice kiwi plants in Australian gardens. Over time he's pieced together a pattern of waves of fashion in their planting and popularity, reflecting scientific and horticultural expansionism, commercial and familial networks and connections across the Tasman. Stuart will examine a range of NZ plants found in old and younger Australian gardens, try to tease out some of the means by which they got here and why they remain popular. No cabbage, This constellation of asterisks Slaps and rustles Its tough tatters In the brisk breeze; Whispers of times past And ancient histories (Barbara Mitcalfe’s poem, ‘Ti Kouka’ (cabbage tree) catches well the distinctive skyline profile of this ubiquitous New Zealand export (in Simpson, 2000, 213) Introduction / overview New Zealand gardens have been introduced to and cultivated in Australian gardens from early in their ‘discovery’, trade and exchanges between the two colonies. Australian and other explorers, botanists, nurserymen, New Zealand settlers and others searched New Zealand’s coasts and bush, bringing plants into cultivation, export and commerce from early in the settlement’s colonization. New Zealand plants have had their ‘vogue’ periods, including as: A) - Economic plants (various timbers, kauri gum for shellacs and jewellery; flax for fibre, rope, cloth; greens for scurvy; poroporo for the contraceptive ‘the pill’); B) - Exotic ornamental imports into Australian gardens and beyond to English and European conservatories (and some warmer, southern) gardens and parks; C) - Depicted or carved as subjects of botanical and other artworks, commercial commodities.
