Leptinella Dioica
''Leptinella'' is a genus of alpine flowering plant in the family Asteraceae, comprising 33 species, distributed in New Guinea, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and South America. Many of the species are endemic to New Zealand. For over 100 years, ''Leptinella'' species were considered part of the genus ''Cotula'', but the genus ''Leptinella'' was reinstated by Lloyd & Webb in 1987. They determined that all species of ''Leptinella'' are distinguished from those of the other two sections of ''Cotula'', and other Anthemideae, by the conspicuous "inflated" corollas of the female florets and by chromosome numbers based on x = 26 where known. ''Leptinella squalida'' 'Platt's Black' is a form cultivated as a garden plant, and is used for ground cover and as a component in tapestry lawn A tapestry lawn (also referred to as a grass-free lawn) is a lawn format that has no grass component.

Tapestry Lawn
A tapestry lawn (also referred to as a grass-free lawn) is a lawn format that has no grass component. It uses a variety of different mowing tolerant perennial forb species in combination. The overall visual effect of the many species of plant grown together is referred to as a tapestry. The format is based on research carried out at the University of Reading. Developed with temperate humid oceanic climate in mind, it applies ecological principals and horticultural practices to address some of the ecological and environmental issues associated with traditional grass lawns. Management The lawn-defining and traditional practice of mowing is the key management tool in tapestry lawns. The need for its application is reduced by up to two thirds compared to traditional mowing regimes Smith, L.S. and M.D.E.

Leptinella Filiformis
''Leptinella filiformis'', or slender button daisy, is a species of flowering plant in the daisy family, found only in the north-eastern part of the South Island of New Zealand. Thought to be extinct by the 1980s, it was rediscovered growing on a Hanmer Springs hotel lawn in 1998, and in the wild in 2015. Description A creeping perennial, ''L. filiformis'' forms a low mat, spreading indefinitely via thin rhizomes on the soil surface. It has small green or brown feathery leaves, up to long. Its flowers are small () white button-shaped inflorescences on thin stalks. Taxonomy This species was collected by Julius von Haast in 1862 on the Canterbury Plains, "among grass", and sent to Joseph Dalton Hooker, who in 1864 named it ''Cotula filiformis''. David Lloyd, when revising ''Cotula'', initially retained this species, then later transferred it into ''Leptinella'' when that taxon was elevated to a genus. The genus name ''Leptinella'', from the Greek ''leptos'' or thin, refers to ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
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 include ...
