Altitudes:
from 540m
Habitat:
Ridgeline beech forest
Notes:
A number of Alepis flavida found growing on mountain beech hosts along this section of ridgeline during mistletoe survey of Hope Valley. Possums have yet to reach this site. To our knowledge, this is only the second record of Alepis in South Westland. Some side branches were removed from the specimen because they became mouldy during drying.
Observed species:
Metrosideros umbellata N. menziesii Podocarpus hallii Nothofagus cliffortioides var. cliffortioides
