  • A Showy Lily (Lilium Formosanum) on the Move?
    7 produced in its turn a mature form rosette with only 5 leaves a much smaller plant than that produced by the 5 mm tuber at the beginning of the study. This was in fact its last gasp. No new tuber formed and the plant died. The pollination mechanism is insect attractive but on some sites notably the western and southern coastal aspects of the Waitakere Ranges the plants are subjected to severe wind buffeting which is more than enough to shake the pollinia loose and deposit some grains on the stigma. Be this as it may all the flowering plants I observed set s e e d . REFERENCES Hatch E.D. 1949 Trans. R.S.N.Z. 77: p. 238. 1971 Auck. Bot. Soc. Newsletter Nov. p. 5. 1984 Auck. Bot. Soc.

Cameron In mid February 1986 on the Coromandel Peninsula I was struck by the showy roadside and sand dune weed Formosa lily (Lilium formosanum). It was present from the eastern end of the Kopu Hikuai Road north to Cooks Beach (just south of Whitianga) being more common north of Tairua. Along the highway it was growing in roadside gravel usually in small groups of separate plants many kilometres apart. On the sand dunes at Cooks and Hotwater Beaches the lilies were locally abundant and often close together. Flowering stems were about 0.5 m tall (sand dune plants up to 1 m) and had l 2 (4) horizontally held slender funnel shaped flowers 14 18 cm long; making it one of N.Z.s longest flowered wild plants.

  • Local Reality and the Climate Change Adaptation Dilema
    Copyright is owned by the Author of the thesis. Permission is given for a copy to be downloaded by an individual for the purpose of research and private study only. The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. Local reality and the climate change adaptation dilemma: Beyond technical fixes and ‘business as usual’ Dissertation presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Resource and Environmental Planning at Massey University, Manawatu, New Zealand. Paul Philipp Schneider 2014 I dedicate this dissertation to my daughter Lucia. ii And God blessed them, and God said unto them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth”. —Genesis 1:28 New Zealand begins with the sea and ends with the sea. Understand this and you begin to comprehend New Zealand and the New Zealander. The thundering surf is our frontier. And our only frontier guards, gulls and migratory birds. With justice, then, the Polynesian voyagers called the land Tiritiri o te Moana – the gift of the sea. —Brian Brake and Maurice Shadbolt, New Zealand: Gift of the Sea iii ABSTRACT Climatic changes are being recorded and experienced and coastal communities are already adversely affected with impacts projected to intensify many times over in coming decades. Adaptation is embryonic at best and needs to take place in the face of already diverse and contested interests presenting coastal communities with a dilemma: Well-intentioned approaches dressed in the rhetoric of adaptation (as legislative and guidance imperatives, and case law) are compounding existing problems by fostering unsustainable and maladaptative development.

  • Tane 22, 1976 Notes on the Hahei Islands and Adjacent
    TANE 22, 1976 NOTES ON THE HAHEI ISLANDS AND ADJACENT MAINLAND, HAHEI, COROMANDEL PENINSULA by P.R. Moore New Zealand Geological Survey, P.O. Box 30 368, Lower Hutt SUMMARY The Hahei Islands consist of two main islands, Mahurangi and Motueka (or Motu Iki), and several small islets. Being close to the mainland they have considerable potential as scenic and/or wildlife reserves. Tuatara (Sphenodon punctatus) may be present on one island. INTRODUCTION The Hahei Islands, located about 10km east of Whitianga and within 2km of the mainland (Fig. 1), have received little attention from the scientific community. They are, however, of considerable historical interest as Captain Cook landed on one of the smaller islands in 1769 and briefly described its small pa (Beaglehole 1955, p.202). The largest island, Mahurangi (Fig. 2), has recently been gazetted a recreation reserve and included in the Hauraki Gulf Maritime Park. As much of the island is presently in grass botanists and ornithologists alike may have a rare opportunity of observing its slow regeneration to native bush, and consequent change in bird life. No detailed surveys of the flora and fauna of the remaining islands have been made, but the marine life has been recorded by scuba divers for many years, and geological and archaeological studies are nearing completion. The Hahei area is becoming increasingly popular for recreational pursuits and it is essential that the islands' wildlife, vegetation and historic sites be preserved for future generations to study and enjoy. BR1LF HISTORY OF THE AREA When Captain Cook visited Mercury Bay in November 1769 he observed that the local Maori inhabitants were poor "to the highest degree", they had no plantations, many were without houses, and others resided on small fortified islands (Beaglehole, 1955, pp.192-203).
