wild in ornamental exotics, with some wild ground covers and grasses including Centella uniflora, Microlaena stipoides, Oplismenus hirtellus and Hydrocotyle moschata.
However this does not seem to have a noticeable reddish leaf margin ... and in the photo hairs can only be seen on the stem???

Dead carp floating on pond with koi present. Physically like goldfish, but tail fin structure & head shape look more koi. 2 tiny barbels on side of mouth. Hybrid between wild goldfish & koi carp though no taxon here.

Small forested stream. In log. Woo! Such an honour to find one of these beautiful animals! Accidentally disturbed while climbing over the log it was in and it fell out.
Note: The animal was not handled or affected in any way. Was just taken photos of then left alone.

I couldn’t get a good angle for the picture of the underside of the leaf, I hope it’s good enough

Several separate tufts or clumps of strap-like leaves about 50cmH observed here in 2018 and sebsequently (see Observaton Group) under dense rawirinui canopy in regen rawirinui/podocarp forest margin.
Attempts at ID suggested invasive iris, which could not be confirmed as they did not flower during two years observation, after which all clumps were suppressed several times, by pulling off leaves, trampling and mulching. (Uprooting was not possible on any occasion).
Now observed here as short new leaves. On this occasion it was possible and quite easy to uproot several corm-like structures from the earth. It is believed the uprooting was complete, but we will contiinue to monitor the site.

Dianella perhaps? Common here, but the branching looks wrong here, but might be a misleading photo.
Gahnia xanthocarpa is abundant here, but I am not sure if this is that... with mapou juvenile, in Schoenus tendo under rawirinui canopy

Revealed on breaking off he dead stump of FT2 (see tags), a small flame tree manually controlled in 2018/19. Now fully rotted, the Erythrina stump fell apart when I tested its strength, revealing a wild kawakawa seedling which had been completely hidden and sheltered by the stump and a piece of treefern.
The detached stump was then placed ACROSS the bank to contribute (weakly, since it is so light it will probably wash away in heavy runoff) to erosion control and moisture retention for the kawakawa seedling.
The treefern piece is ponga... seen prostrate across the bank at this spot in 2020
