Alseuosmia
''Alseuosmia'' is a genus of five species of flowering plants in the family Alseuosmiaceae, growing in New Zealand's North Island. Species members are characteristically small evergreen shrubs. An example occurrence of species representative ''Alseuosmia macrophylla'' is in the habitat of the Hamilton Ecological District, where ''Blechnum discolor'' and '' B.filiforme'' are understory elements with a ''Nothofagus truncata'' and ''Dacrydium cupressinum'' overstory. ''Alseuosmia'' was first described in 1839 from specimens collected in Northland forests by Cunningham. Other species are '' A.banksii'', '' A.pusilla'', '' A.quercifolia'', and '' A.turneri''. ''A.quercifolia'' is the most common of the species in lowland native forest of Waikato, sometimes known as A. Hakarimata. It is an endemic Endemism is the state of a species being found in a single defined geographic location, such as an island, state, nation, country or other defined zone; organisms that are indigenou ...

Alseuosmia Quercifolia
''Alseuosmia quercifolia'', commonly known as oak-leaved toropapa, toropapa, and karapapa (Māori), is a species of plant in the family '' Alseuosmiaceae''. It grows as a shrub, reaching a height of 2.5 m, and has variably shaped glossy green leaves. Flowering begins in spring (in the southern hemisphere), producing fragrant pink flowers which become red berries in Autumn. Endemic to New Zealand, it is found only in the upper half of the North Island - predominately in the Waikato region. Currently classified as "Not threatened" by the NZTCS, it was first described in 1839 by Allan Cunningham, before being demoted to a hybrid by Rhys Gardner in 1978 and then reinstated by M. F. Merrett and B. D. Clarkson in 2000. Description ''Alseuosmia quercifolia'' is a shrub which reaches a height of 2.5 m. It has reddish brown branches with new growth a crimson colour.

Alseuosmiaceae
Alseuosmiaceae is a plant family of the order Asterales found in Australia, New Caledonia, and New Zealand. They are shrubs with leaves arranged in spirals or whorls about the stem. The flowers are solitary or borne in raceme or fascicle inflorescences. Some species have fragrant flowers. The flower corolla is urn-shaped or funnel-shaped with 4 to 7 lobes. There are 4 to 7 stamens and one style tipped with a two-lobed stigma. The fruit is a fleshy berry.Watson, L. and M. J. Dallwitz. 1992 onwardsAlseuosmiaceae Airy Shaw.

Alseuosmia Macrophylla
''Alseuosmia macrophylla'', the toropapa or karapapa, is a plant species in the family Alseuosmiaceae. This is a small evergreen shrub which is endemic to New Zealand, along with two closely related species. An example occurrence of ''A. macrophylla'' is in the North Island habitat of the Hamilton Ecological District, where ''Blechnum discolor'' and ''Blechnum filiforme'' are understory elements with ''Nothofagus truncata'' and rimu overstory. This plant is known for the pleasant scent of its flowers, and its family name translates as "perfumed grove". The small red berries of toropapa are edible and sweet tasting. As a forest understory plant, toropapa will not tolerate full sunlight or frost, and needs its roots to stay moist and cool, however so long as these conditions are met it is reasonably hardy, and is sometimes cultivated as a garden plant.Fiona Eadie. 100 best native plants for New Zealand gardens. p113-115.

Hakarimata Range
Hakarimata Range is a range of hills on the western edge of Ngāruawāhia township, Retrieved 2016 in the Waikato region of New Zealand, overlooking the confluence of the Waikato and Waipā Rivers. The Hakarimata Range is separated from the Taupiri Range by the Taupiri Gorge, through which the Waikato River flows. After the invasion of the Waikato, parts of the Hakarimatas were confiscated in 1864. of native forest on the range are protected as a scenic reserve. A council supported community group, the Hakarimata Restoration Trust, created in 2001, is helping care for the range. Location Although now usually applied to the hills immediately west of Ngāruawāhia, maps such as Hochstetter's of 1859, the 1925 geology map and 1944 one inch map show 'Hakarimata Range' as extending south to what is now SH23. Similarly, old accounts describe the Whatawhata- Raglan road as passing over the Hakarimatas. Name Hakarimata's name derives from a 17th-century feast, when Ngāti Maniapot ...

Hamilton Ecological District
Hamilton Ecological District is part of the Waikato Ecological Region in New Zealand's North Island. It occupies the Hamilton basin and surrounding foothills, and has been heavily modified with less than two percent of its indigenous vegetation remaining. This location has been studied significantly including the process of restoration ecology. C. Michael Hogan has classified the undisturbed portions of the woodland area as a beech and podocarp forest with associate understory ferns being '' Icarus filiformis'', ''Asplenium flaccidum'', ''Doodia media'', '' Hymenophyllum demissum'', '' Zealandia pustulata'' and ''Dendroconche scandens ''Dendroconche scandens'', synonym ''Microsorum scandens'', commonly called fragrant fern, is a species of fern within the family Polypodiaceae.

Northland Region
The Northland Region ( mi, Te Tai Tokerau) is the northernmost of New Zealand's 16 local government regions. New Zealanders sometimes refer to it as the Winterless North because of its mild climate all throughout the year. The main population centre is the city of Whangārei, and the largest town is Kerikeri. At the 2018 New Zealand census, Northland recorded a population growth spurt of 18.1% since the previous 2013 census, placing it as the fastest growing region in New Zealand, ahead of other strong growth regions such as the Bay of Plenty (2nd with 15%) and Waikato (3rd with 13.5%). Geography The Northland Region occupies the northern 80% (265 km) of the 330 km Northland Peninsula, the southernmost part of which is in the Auckland Region. Stretching from a line at which the peninsula narrows to a width of just 15 km a little north of the town of Wellsford, Northland Region extends north to the tip of the Northland Peninsula, covering an area of 13,940&nb ...

Dacrydium Cupressinum
''Dacrydium cupressinum'', commonly known as rimu, is a large evergreen coniferous tree endemic to the forests of New Zealand. It is a member of the southern conifer group, the podocarps. The Māori name ''rimu'' comes from the Polynesian term ''limu'' which the tree's foliage were reminded of, ultimately from Proto-Austronesian *''limut'' meaning "moss". The former name "red pine" has fallen out of common use. Distribution Rimu grows throughout New Zealand, in the North Island, South Island and Stewart Island/Rakiura. This species is common in lowland and montane forest. Although the largest concentration of trees is now found on the West Coast of the South Island, the biggest trees tend to be in mixed podocarp forest near Taupō (e.g., Pureora, Waihaha, and Whirinaki Forests). A typical North Island habitat is in the Hamilton Ecological District, where '' Fuscospora truncata'' and rimu form the overstory. Associate ferns on the forest floor are ''Blechnum discolor'', ''Bl ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
