Altitudes:
from 540m
Habitat:
Growing among dense secondary red tussockland (c. 1.5 m tall) overlying undulating moraine deposits. Dominated by occasional Discaria toumatou and Carmichaelia australis emergent over a near-continuous canopy of Chionochloa rubra subsp. cuprea, with a variety of small shrubs, herbs and exotic pasture grasses.
Microhabitat:
Substrate: Growing on damp soils over ablation moraine formed by the multiple Tui Creek glacial advance of Late Otiran age.
Notes:
A single plant, though other plants of known species are recorded nearby. From a plant which superficially appeared intermediate in appearance between Aciphylla subflabellata and A. aurea. It did not have the glaucous appearance of A. glaucescens typical of North Canterbury plants of that species. Other recorded species of Aciphylla present include A. aurea, A. scott-thomsonii, A. subflabellata and A. glaucescens (the last being a previous B.P.J. Molloy record). Site: Physically protected from large livestock by fencing (though subject to occasional grazing by sheep). QEII covenant. Leaf blade.
Observed species:
Chionochloa rubra subsp. cuprea
