Tmesipteris Alticola
''Tmesipteris'', the hanging fork ferns, is a genus of ferns, one of two genera in the family Psilotaceae, order Psilotales (the other being ''Psilotum''). ''Tmesipteris'' is restricted to certain lands in the Southern Pacific, notably Australia, New Zealand and New Caledonia. In New Zealand this hanging epiphyte is common in the warm temperate rain forests of both main islands, where it can normally be found as short spiky dark-green fronds (10–15 cm long), often with lighter bag-like sporangia at the bases of some of its "leaves". The plant possesses no true leaves; what appear to be leaves are flattened stems. The fronds emerge directly from the fibrous root-mats which clad the trunks of mature tree ferns such as ''Dicksonia'' and ''Cyathea''. ''Tmesipteris'' is from the Greek language, meaning a "cut fern", referring to the truncated leaf tips. Species Species include: *'' Tmesipteris alticola'' Perrie & Brownsey *'' Tmesipteris elongata'' P.A.Dang - Australia (Victo ...

Johann Jakob Bernhardi
Johann Jakob Bernhardi (1 September 1774, in Erfurt – 13 May 1850, in Erfurt) was a German doctor and botanist. Biography Johann J. Bernhardi studied Medicine and Botany at the University of Erfurt, and after graduation practiced medicine for a time in his native city. In 1799 he was named director of the botanical garden at ''Gartenstraße'', and in 1809 was appointed professor of botany, zoology, mineralogy and materia medica at the university. He served as director of the botanical garden until his death in 1850, being buried in the central avenue of this botanical garden. Throughout his life thanks to acquisitions and interchanges with other botanists, he assembled a considerable herbarium of 60,000 plants with specimens from North America, South America, Asia, and Africa. After his death this herbarium did not remain in Germany but due to the efforts of George Engelmann, who, in 1857, shortly after the death of Bernhardi bought the complete herbarium for the amount of 600 do ...

South Island
The South Island ( , 'the waters of Pounamu, Greenstone') is the largest of the three major islands of New Zealand by surface area, the others being the smaller but more populous North Island and Stewart Island. It is bordered to the north by Cook Strait, to the west by the Tasman Sea, to the south by the Foveaux Strait and Southern Ocean, and to the east by the Pacific Ocean. The South Island covers , making it the List of islands by area, world's 12th-largest island, constituting 56% of New Zealand's land area. At low altitudes, it has an oceanic climate. The most populous cities are Christchurch, Dunedin, Nelson, New Zealand, Nelson and Invercargill. Prior to European settlement, Te Waipounamu was sparsely populated by three major iwi – Kāi Tahu, Kāti Māmoe, and the historical Waitaha (South Island iwi), Waitaha – with major settlements including in Kaiapoi Pā near modern-day Christchurch. During the Musket Wars expanding iwi colonised Te Tau Ihu Māori, Te Tau Ihu, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Banks Peninsula
Banks Peninsula () is a rocky peninsula on the east coast of the South Island of New Zealand that was formed by two now-extinct volcanoes. It has an area of approximately . It includes two large deep-water harbours — Lyttelton Harbour and Akaroa Harbour — and many smaller bays and coves. The South Island's largest city, Christchurch, is immediately north of the peninsula which, is administered by Christchurch City Council. The main settlements are Lyttelton and Akaroa. The peninsula's economy is based on fisheries, farming and tourism. Māori were the first people to visit, and settle, the peninsula. The sparse population was reduced further following massacres by raiding parties of North Island Māori in 1830 and 1832. In 1770, explorer James Cook became the first European to sight the peninsula, which he mistook for an island, naming it after his ship's botanist Joseph Banks. From the 1830s, European whalers set up shore-based stations in some of the bays and harbo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Tmesipteris Horomaka
''Tmesipteris horomaka'', commonly known as the Banks Peninsula fork fern, is a fern ally endemic to New Zealand. Description ''Tmesipteris horomaka'' is usually found on the stem of the tree ferns, i.e., epiphytic fern or sometimes found on the ground, or soil from decomposing logs, i.e., terrestrial fern.Brownsey, P. J., & Perrie, L. R. (2014). Flora of New Zealand Ferns and Lycophytes. December. https://doi.org/10.7931/J2KW5CXJ Many stems of ''Tmesipteris horomaka'' can be found on a single fern tree, but it is hard to tell whether they belong to single individual fern, as Tmesipteris plants have creeping rootstock from which various shoots may arise.Perrie, L. R., Brownsey, P. J., & Lovis, J. D. (2010). ''Tmesipteris horomaka'', a new octoploid species from Banks Peninsula. New Zealand Journal of Botany. https://doi.org/10.1080/00288251003640010 It has continuous creeping rootstock with the aerial stem grows to a length that ranges between 60 and 510 mm and with a width of 15 ...
