Chatham Island Toetoe (Austroderia turbaria)Observer
pjd1Description
20 plants noted along shoreline, growing amongst Apodasmia similis. Often in pools of tanin-stained water. Most plants probably <5 years old, many with evidence of their first flowering this year (developing inflorescence). A few older ones noted. A new population for the islands, and in quite a different habitat to what I am used to seeing.
This population was discovered by Lorimer Albert, based at Henga.
