picture info	Chatham Islands The Chatham Islands ( ) (Moriori: ''Rēkohu'', 'Misty Sun'; mi, Wharekauri) are an archipelago in the Pacific Ocean about east of New Zealand's South Island. They are administered as part of New Zealand. The archipelago consists of about ten islands within an approximate radius, the largest of which are Chatham Island and Pitt Island (Rangiauria). They include New Zealand's easternmost point, the Forty-Fours. Some of the islands, formerly cleared for farming, are now preserved as nature reserves to conserve some of the unique flora and fauna. The islands were uninhabited when the Moriori people arrived around 1500 CE and developed a peaceful way of life. In 1835 members of the Ngāti Mutunga and Ngāti Tama Māori iwi from the North Island of New Zealand invaded the islands and nearly exterminated the Moriori, enslaving the survivors. Later during the period of European colonisation of New Zealand, the New Zealand Company claimed that the British Crown had never inclu ...

	Lepidium Oleraceum ''Lepidium oleraceum'' is a herb in the family Brassicaceae, endemic to New Zealand. Its English common name is Cook's scurvy grass; Māori names include nau, ngau, naunau and heketara. Its specific epithet ''oleraceum'' means "vegetable/herbal" in Latin and is a form of (). Taxonomy There are three recognised varieties: var. ''frondosum'' Kirk var. ''acutidentatum'' Kirk var. ''serrulatum'' Thell. Distribution In New Zealand it is native to coastal areas of the North and South Islands, Stewart Island, the Three Kings Islands, the Snares Islands, the Chatham Islands, the Auckland Islands, the Antipodes Islands and the Bounty Islands. Although this species was once widespread, it is now mostly restricted to off-shore rock stacks and islets. Conservation status The small populations are highly threatened, one of the reasons being reduced populations of seabirds which they are dependent on to provide highly fertile and disturbed soils associated with nesting grounds.

	Utricularia Delicatula ''Utricularia delicatula'' is a terrestrial species of bladderwort and is unique within its genus in being endemic to New Zealand.Bruce Salmon (2001). ''Carnivorous Plants of New Zealand''. Ecosphere Publications The specific epithet is Latin for "dainty" and refers to the small flowers of this species. This species has a small geographic range, being found in the northern half of the North Island at low elevations (below 200 m) in the Waikato and in Northland but also farther afield on Chatham Island in the east. References Carnivorous plants of New Zealand Flora of the Chatham Islands delicatula ''Delicatula'' is a genus of fungi in the family Tricholomataceae.

	Sophora Chathamica ''Sophora chathamica'', the coastal kōwhai, sometimes known as Chatham Island kōwhai, is one of 8 species of native sophora or kōwhai in New Zealand and grows naturally in the north-west of the North Island in New Zealand, as far south as the Tongaporutu River in north Taranaki, and as far north as Te Paki. It can also be found growing near Wellington and the Chatham Islands, although these later plantings are thought to be a result of Māori plantings in the late 18th century and early 19th century. Prior to 2001, it was included as variant of '' Sophora microphylla'', therefore references to either ''Sophora microphylla var. chathamica'' or ''Sophora microphylla subsp. microphylla var. chathamica'' are considered references to coastal kowhai. Description Coastal kōwhai forms a small tree up to 6 metres tall and 4 metres wide. It generally flowers from August until November. Flowers are yellow and around 3 cm long. Unlike many kōwhai species, coastal kōwhai lacks th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]

picture info	Olearia Semidentata ''Olearia'', most commonly known as daisy-bush, is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Asteraceae, the largest of the flowering plant families in the world. Olearia are found in Australia, New Guinea and New Zealand. The genus includes herbaceous plants, shrubs and small trees. The latter are unusual among the Asteraceae and are called tree daisies in New Zealand. All bear the familiar daisy-like composite flowerheads in white, pink, mauve or purple. Description Plants in the genus ''Olearia'' are shrubs of varying sizes, characterised by a composite flower head arrangement with single-row ray florets enclosed by small overlapping bracts arranged in rows. The flower petals are more or less equal in length. The centre of the bi-sexual floret is disc shaped and may be white, yellowish or purplish, generally with 5 lobes. Flower heads may be single or clusters in leaf axils or at the apex of branchlets. Leaves may be smooth, glandular or with a sticky secretion. T ...

	Linum Monogynum ''Linum monogynum'', the rauhuia or New Zealand linen flax, is a species of flowering plant in the family Linaceae, which is endemic to New Zealand. It is a low-growing short-lived perennial or woody subshrub, growing up to tall. Its spear-shaped, leathery-gray to green leaves are 0.2–1 inches (5–25 mm) long. Its pretty white flowers are up to in diameter, and have five overlapping petals. It is monoecious, having both male and female organs on one plant (hence the Latin specific epithet ''monogynum'', literally "single wife"). Separate populations on Chatham Island are more robust with blue-white flowers, and may be referred to as ''L. monogynum'' var. ''chathamicum''. There may also be variations amongst the mainland populations. This tough compact plant is well able to cope with the harsh conditions of New Zealand's coasts, often with gale-force salt-laden winds. It is a close relative to the true flax of the Northern Hemisphere, ''Linum usitatissimum'', but is ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
