Description
Plant checklist for Rangitaiki Conservation Area. This species list incorporates all vascular plants in the Rangitaiki Conservation Area divided into 2 broad habitat types; Rangitaiki Frostflat and Te Papa mire communities. The original species list was created by Jan M. Allen and Michele R. Frank, Feb 1993 with additions and abundance rankings from N.J.D. Singers 1998-2006. Additions have been entered from herbarium records and from “Ephemeral wetlands and their turfs in New Zealand” 2003 (Johnson. P. and Rogers G.: Science for Conservation 230). A.P. Druce also encompassed this area with a list for a wider area, Kaingaroa Plains, List 62.
This plant list has been compiled by the stated observer(s) and been provided to NZPCN for public use in good faith. NZPCN cannot guarantee that data contained in these lists are up to date or accurate. Most species lists are not corroborated with herbarium specimens. Note, species lists are not typically an exhaustive presence/absence survey of an area and often may focus on a single habitat or only contain species visible at a particular time of year (for example, spring annual herbs may go unobserved during much of the year). These lists should not be solely relied on for the purpose of assessing environmental effects or for preparing restoration plans - for this work a site visit is critical.
