Fact Sheets For Sparse - An Update
When the NZPCN website started in 2003 the intention was to provide full fact sheets for all of the New Zealand Threatened Flora (and ultimately the whole vascular flora). To date Fact Sheets for all the Acutely Threatened Vascular Plant Taxa have been completed, and updated. Now NZPCN is working on the much larger grouping of At Risk taxa. By and large we are doing this by subcategory. So far we have worked on populating the “At Risk/Sparse” taxa. Fact Sheets are now available for 114 taxa. Just 20 “Sparse” Fact Sheets now require text to complete the task and 339 for the “At Risk/Range Restricted”. Fact sheets for large genera such as Carex are complete for both Sparse and Range Restricted, and for Leptinella all fact sheets have been populated. Any comments from members about fact sheets from any category are always appreciated.Posted: 08/09/2006
