This observation is referencing the species in box 1 of the photo.
In our groups 10m by 10m square plot it was awesome to see massive nikau palms that almost looked out of place and belonged on a tropical island. Because of the shade cover they provide only saw few other species that must have adapted to the conditions.
Description of site-
*(location 4)-
has several species of podocarps
abundance of tree fern and shruby ferns.
-species 1- Coprosma grandifolia
shape-simple
margin-entire
profile-flat
length-10-20cm
width-5-7cm
From right, Coprosma grandifolia, Coprosma robusta, and what I expect is a hybrid of Coprosma robusta and Coprosma propinqua,
Uncertain of ID. Appeared that I had 2 species on the plot (this one slightly cupped & with white blush below =G.inclusisora?), but closer inspection of samples later showed stellate hairs & fertile samples with sori not impressed =G.microphylla.
Ist 2 photos on site, remaining 3 from collected samples.
