  • Revegetation of the Stockton Coal Mine, Buller©
    114 Combined Proceedings International Plant Propagators’ Society, Volume 57, 2007 Revegetation of the Stockton Coal Mine, Buller© Michael Kingsbury Solid Energy New Zealand Limited, P.O. Box 250, Westport Email: [email protected] INTRODUCTION Stockton Coal Mine is situated 25 km north-east of Westport and stretches from 1 km to 5 km from the coast. The 2,200-ha coal mining licence is located within the western sector of the Buller Coal Field on a plateau 400 to 1,100 m above the coastal plain. The opencast mine currently has a disturbed area of 750 ha and is expected to have a footprint of more than 900 ha at end of mine life. Thick seams of generally high quality coal exported for use in thermal, coking, and specialised markets overlies a basement of weathered granite rock. This ma- terial is quarried for mine road aggregate and, due to its phosphate content, is capable of supporting vegetation. Overlying the coal is a thick layer of hard, mas- sive quartz sandstone overburden, which is fragmented by blasting and stripped using 180-tonne excavators. It has poor plant-supporting characteristics, being low in fertility and having low water and nutrient-holding capacity. Remnants of the Kaiata mudstone exist on top of the sandstone and contribute to acid rock drainage through oxidation of sulphide-bearing minerals. Stockton Mine experiences a moist (some would say very moist) temperate cli- mate, which, combined with strong prevailing west/north westerly winds, means extreme weather conditions are common. Annual mean precipitation of 6,500 mm (predominantly as rain) and common, intense rainfall events (e.g., 140 mm in 6 h) produce extreme soil nutrient leaching and, along with severe winter frosts, causes high erosion rates of unprotected soil particles.

Leaves narrow and tapering to a narrow tip and with coarse black- tipped teeth on margins. Flowers in clusters of spikes. Fruit small, white. DISTRIBUTION Endemic. Kermadec Islands, Raoul Island only. HABITAT One of the characteristic trees of the wet forests of Raoul Island which are mostly found above 245m. However, in the ravines this tree may extend down to almost sea level. In the wet forest it is mostly a subcanopy tree which co- associates with Coprosma acutifolia, Pseudopanax kermadecensis, Melicytus aff. ramiflorus and on occasion Boehmeria australis subsp. dealbata. Occasionally, such as on the ridge lines and crater rim it may form part of the forest canopy. FEATURES Glabrous gynodioecious tree up to 15 m tall. Trunk up to 500 mm diameter. Bark greyish-white. Branchlets slender, striate, initially pale green maturing dark green to emerald green. Interpetiolar stipules conspicuous, comprising 3 1.2-2.6 mm long pale pink to red, filaments; these connate near base, behind which are 3-6 smaller hyaline filaments. Petioles up to 15-20 mm long, lamina subcoriacous, somewhat fleshy, 50-100 × 10-30 mm, green, emerald green to dark green above, paler beneath, serrations weakly pigmented, pink to pale maroon often fading into pale pink spotting, narrowly lanceolate, lanceolate, lanceolate- oblong to narrowly elliptic, acuminate to acute.

  • 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.
