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.

This list is as exhaustive as can be compiled at present, approximately 250 botanical lists, and InaturalistNZ were used to assemble the species featured. All species on the list are featured in more than one list or on both a list and InaturalistNZ as a ‘Research Grade’ observation by a reliable observer. Any species only noted in one source which seem possible have a reference directly for follow up by anyone keen to add weight to the inclusion.
Many of the lists observed are not added to the reference list as they did not add any value to the list in regards to enhancing the floral diversity.
Any additions or issues please contact the author to adjust. Older lists and observations have also been used, meaning there are likely extirpated species featured here.
An appendix of species not accepted and why is attached to the end of this list.
