On northern edge of hollow - a clump 4 square metres amongst sparse Spinifex.
Abundance:
Rare
Keywords:
Dry; Dune; Hollow; Open; Sand; Talltussock; Unconsolidated
Notes:
Plants browsed by hares and suffering from a disease resulting in widespread yellowing of the leaves and brittle nature of exposed `stems'. Rhizomes of dead plants had the inner cortex reduced to a putrid mush! This is the only natural pingao colony left between Port Waikato and Kawhia. First seen here by the collector in 1981 when only a 1 sq metre patch existed. (Site Reports made then and now).
Observed species:
Spinifex sericeus
Ammophila arenaria
Ammophila arenaria
