Altitudes:
from 300m
Habitat:
Growing as clumped plants and smaller outlier plants on a steep rock face just off the leeward (southern) crest, on an exposed steep crag of quartz-sandstone mantled in a fine layer of sand and accumulated organic litter. In a well-lit canopy gap among shrubland, scrub and short-tree species. The site is actively eroding and receives fresh wind-blown sand or water-washed gritty material from upper parts on a regular basis. The sandstone is highly porous, thereby retaining and providing moisture for associated flora despite the irregularity of rain.
Microhabitat:
The canopy is dominated by Leptospermum scoparium and Leucopogon fasciculatus, with occasional emergent Metrosideros umbellata, and an understorey of young Pseudopanax arboreus. There are occasional Pinus radiata wilding pines. The groundcover is dominated by a variety of mosses, occasional ferns (including the fern ally Lycopodium volubile) over lichens.
Notes:
At least 30 specimens were found, scattered over an area of about 6 m x 5 m.
The habitat of this population had previously been subject to severe competition by wilding conifers (now under periodic control), with many associated species that appear to be growing freely, on this naturally-uncommon landform.
