A special plant clinging on for existence. Coastal.
On Caltha obtusa in summit bogs. Identified by Dr. Mahajabeen Padamsee of Landcare Research.
Unsure of the species on this one. Scattered in open and semi-shaded areas in forest and scrub. @pjd1 any ideas?
This year's new weed. A group of 5 found and uprooted from regen kauri forest margin, here at the rawirinui stage of forest succession with scattered podocarps, broadleaf and pines, with diverse native understorey and seedlings
These 5 all uprooted easily
See observation group for all 5 - some with better photos than others
or Toxicodendron succedaneum? Using this ID for now to draw out confirmation or denial from those with a good familiarity with titoki seedlings.
One of several similar seedlings emerging for the first time this year with reddish smooth stems and in some cases with a slight reddish tint to some parts of the leaves. This is the reddest one I have seen.
Titoki seedings have been occurring in this location for about 4 years. Adult titoki are present within 100m. Older T. succadeneum seedlings have been identified in the same area.
usual subspecies here is excelsum... they are very common, but occasionally I see one with this leaf shape and venation, which I can't describe but it's different...
About 40cm H. Among wild regen under old mapou, ti kouka and karamu on boundary with FTZLWR
Common in disturbed areas, especially along tracks and roads. @pjd1 is this the correct species?
On coastal granite.
I think I saw the same thing on coastal granite on the Chatham Islands https://inaturalist.nz/observations/67481197
Coastal rocks.
Looks similar to https://inaturalist.nz/observations/79907058
quite common in Hawkes Bay and seems to me to be different to the even more common P. luteoalbum
Growing in a dune slack in sand plain up the escarpment.
