Dacrycarpus dacrydioides / Hoheria angustifolia - Melicytus ramiflorus / M. micranthus - Coprosma areolata forest - on on old river terrace.
Notes:
Plant Register ID: 2006/353The Carex dissita plants are common to occasional through this forest, mixed in with C. lambertiana (common), C. virgata, C. solandri and (rare) C. dipsacea. However, the C. dissita seems to have some plants with utricles on the terminal (male) spike and other plants with the terminal spike purely male. About 3 weeks ago, the ones with mixed terminal spikes seemed to have green fruiting spikes and the ones with a male terminal spike had dark female spikes. This seemed less clear today!

Sheets A to C
Supplementary remarks:
Some lower ♂ spikes compound. spikes too long for dissita. matches solandri very well. Utricle length, utricle shade, utricle colour.
