At Allan Herbarium (CHR) main entrance three plants are queueing at the door waiting to be accessioned. Two naturalised solanums (S. chenopodioides and S. nigrum) and the native ti kōuka.
Kunzea species of AoNz are being updated to K. ericoides. This one has a guest hiding out. One for our entomologists
Fieldwork in Marlborough collecting tororaro (Muehlenbeckia astonii) for genetic study in vicinity of Cape Campbell. Also collected prostrate Senecio probably unnamed & restricted to C. Campbell mudstone. Picked up erect M. aff. ephedroides from inland Kaikoura Ranges.
IRONMAN ... while I mostly only tweet on botany I couldnt resist this one. At Ironman NZ in Taupo my son completed full Ironman. Swim 3.8km 1.03 hr; bike 180 km 5.15 hr; topped off with 42 km marathon in 4.40 hr.
This afternoon we planted the kuta in the upper lake at @ZEALANDIA with Te Roopu Raranga o Manaia from Hikoikoi. They were so stoked to be a part of it and are looking forward to future harvest
