Stu Thorn, the local Wanaka DoC bio-diversity specialist, has given me a list of trees/plants in our area that are fragile requiring some special protection. They should not be trampled, cut or otherwise damaged. The plant in the picture is an Olearia fragrantissima.
Olearia hectorii
Olearia fragrantissima
Prumnopitys taxifolia (Matai)
Ischnocarpus novae zelandiae
Olearia fimbriata
Leonohebe cuppressoides
Carmichaelia kirkii (Scrambling Broom)
There is a small garden with some of the endangered species at the local DoC visitor centre in Wanaka. If you are active in the local area, go take a look at the plants to familiarize yourself with their appearance.
