Photography copyright 2009 J. Rugis. Hymenophyllum sanguinolentum This filmy fern grows as an epiphyte on the trunks of trees ferns. In dry weather it characteristically protects itself by curling up, waiting for a rain shower and re-hydration. The height range of the plants shown in this image is approximately 3-4cm. Sticherus cunninghamii Sticherus, commonly known as 'umbrella fern', can be found on exposed clay banks. Loxsoma cunninghamii The genus Loxsoma contains only this single species, native to New Zealand and nowhere else. This rare fern is now largely confined to central Coromandel. Older yellow fronds co-exist with several shades of younger green fronds. Loxsoma is usually found on stream banks. Loxsoma cunninghamii The spore bearing capsules are tubular and located on the underside of the fronds. As can be seen in this image, fully extended spent capsules are found on older fronds. Loxsoma cunninghamii The underside of younger fronds is distinctively white colored. In this image we see the spore capsules at a stage in their development when they are just beginning to eject spore.

    RESTORATION PLAN FOR THE SPENCER ROAD PART OF THE LAKE TARAWERA CATCHMENT R4152c RESTORATION PLAN FOR THE SPENCER ROAD PART OF THE LAKE TARAWERA CATCHMENT Contract Report No. 4152c February 2017 Updated February 2019 Project Team: Richard Gillies - Fieldwork, report author Jennifer Murray - Fieldwork, report author Sarah Beadel - Field assessment, project management, report author, peer review Prepared for: Lake Tarawera Ratepayers Association and Tarawera Landcare 2115 99 SALA STREET, WHAKAREWAREWA, 3010, P.O. BOX 7137, TE NGAE, ROTORUA 3042 Ph 07-343-9017; Fax 07-343-9018, email [email protected], www.wildlands.co.nz EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Tarawera Landcare 2115, via the Lake Tarawera Ratepayers Association, has signed a MoU with Rotorua Lakes Council regarding the management of Council land along the margins of Lake Tarawera between Otumutu Lagoon and Te Toroa Point. The site is c.6.5 km long and covers 24 ha. The Lake Tarawera Ratepayers Association has commissioned this plan to guide ecological management there. A separate plan has been developed for Māori land on Kariri Point. A review of background information and ecological surveys and assessments of the study area were undertaken during October-December 2016. Indigenous forest dominated by māhoe, mamaku, kāmahi, fivefinger and, in places, pōhutukawa and kānuka, occupies around 40% of the study area, and is representative of the vegetation regenerating after the 1886 Tarawera eruption. A distinctive feature is the presence of healthy numbers of the mistletoe Tupeia antarctica, an At Risk species, from Cliff Road Reserve northwards, attributable to ongoing possum control by the Tarawera community. Lakeshore vegetation provides roosting and nesting habitat for waterbirds, particularly dabchick, a Threatened endemic waterbird present along the entire shoreline.

The primary fern display and test garden is located at, and in conjunction with, The Rhododendron Species Botanical Garden at the Weyerhaeuser Corpo¬ rate Headquarters, in Federal Way, Washington. Satellite fern gardens are at the Stephen Austin Arboretum, Nacogdoches, Texas, Birmingham Botanical Gardens, Birmingham, Alabama, California State University at Sacramento, Sacramento, California, Coastal Maine Botanical Garden, Boothbay, Maine, Dallas Arboretum, Dallas, Texas, Denver Botanic Gardens. Denver, Colorado, Georgeson Botanical Garden, University of Alaska, Fairbanks, Alaska, Harry P. Leu Garden, Orlando, Florida, Inniswood Metro Gardens, Columbus, Ohio, New York Botanical Garden, Bronx, New York, and Strybing Arboretum, San Francisco, California. The fern display gardens are at Bainbridge Island Library, Bainbridge Island, WA, Lakewold, Tacoma, Washington, Les Jardins de Metis, Quebec, Canada, Rotary Gardens, Janesville, Wl, University of Northern Colorado, Greeley, Colorado, and Whitehall Historic Home and Garden, Louisville, KY. Hardy Fern Foundation members participate in a spore exchange, receive a quarterly newsletter and have first access to ferns as they are ready for distribution.

  • Pteriodophyta Psilophyta Lycophyta Filicophyta (Pterophyta) Calamophyta

In Psilophytes, the sporophyte was rootless, leafless and dichotomously branched. If in Anthoceros sporophyte: - the intercalary meristematic zone is shifted to occupy the apices of the branches and - the bivalves resulting from the dehiscence of sporophyte are transformed into dichotomous branches, the fine structure is much related to Psilophytes sporophyte. The sex organs in Anthoceros resemble those of Pteridophytes: archegonia in Anthoceros (no stalk, can not distinguish archegonial wall) resembling archegonia of Pteridophytes. Modern Interpretation Modern studies of cell ultrastructure, biochemical nature and molecular studies (5S/16S- rRNA sequence, molecular sequence data from plastid, nuclear and mitochondrial encoded genes etc.) suggest that bryophytes are not the ancestor of vascular plants. It has been indicated that both the bryophytes and pteridophytes have evolved from green algal ancestors, probably from Coleochaete, closely related to charophytes, and mosses appear to be a sister group to the tracheophytes. Coleochaete is an excellent model for the algal ancestor of land plants. Coleochaete is a soil alga in the order Coleochaetales, subfamily Charophyceae, which produces a small vegetative thallus as the major, haploid part of its life cycle (https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=173&v=fuwSkVjbjyc).

  • Comparison of Forest Structure and Regeneration on Bench and Stewart Islands, New Zealand
    50 NEW ZEALAND JOURNAL OF ECOLOGY, VOL. 3, 1980 COMPARISON OF FOREST STRUCTURE AND REGENERATION ON BENCH AND STEWART ISLANDS, NEW ZEALAND THOMAS T. VEBLEN* and GLENN H. STEWART Protection Forestry Division, Forest Research Institute, New Zealand Forest Service, Christchurch SUMMARY: The absence of introduced browsing animals from Bench Island, located 5 km east of Stewart Island, provides the opportunity to compare forest structure and regeneration in these two areas of similar vegetation with and without browsing animals. The population structures of the main canopy tree species, rata (Metrosideros umbellata), kamahi (Weinmannia racemosa), and rimu (Dacrydium cupressinum), are similar in the areas compared. However, on Stewart Island, browsing animals, mainly white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) and the Australian brush-tailed possum (Trichosurus vulpecula), have drastically reduced the abundance of subcanopy trees and shrubs such as Pseudopanax simplex, P. crassifolius, Fucshia excorticata, Myrsine australis, Schefflera digitata, Coprosma lucida and C. foetidissima; ferns such as Phymatosorus diversifolius, Asplenium bulbiferum and herbs like Kirkophytum lyallii have likewise been reduced. The regeneration of the tree fern Dicksonia squarrosa is also severely impeded by browsing, and the generally sparse character of the understorey vegetation on Stewart Island contrasts sharply with the nearly continuous cover on Bench Island. On Stewart Island, the more open main tree canopy and greatly reduced abundance of plants in the 15-140cm tier results in greater species frequencies in the 0-15 em tier, but browsing pressure impedes their further development. Introduced browsing animals have already significantly altered the structure and floristic composition of the rata-kamahi-rimu forests on Stewart Island and their effects are likely to be more severe in the future unless animal numbers are reduced.
