Notes:
This is the first record I have of Teucridium parvifolium from SNA surveys within Orari Ecological District. I have recorded it at a number of locations further east (Geraldine ED).Also present in this stream valley are two separate clumps of Carmichaelia kirkii (at risk: declining), a substantial population (at least 50 adult plants) of Carmichaelia torulosa (nationally endangered) and good numbers of Melicytus (aff. flexuosus) "Waihi" form.
