On Caltha obtusa in summit bogs. Identified by Dr. Mahajabeen Padamsee of Landcare Research.
Unsure of the species on this one. Scattered in open and semi-shaded areas in forest and scrub. @pjd1 any ideas?
This year's new weed. A group of 5 found and uprooted from regen kauri forest margin, here at the rawirinui stage of forest succession with scattered podocarps, broadleaf and pines, with diverse native understorey and seedlings
These 5 all uprooted easily
See observation group for all 5 - some with better photos than others
or Toxicodendron succedaneum? Using this ID for now to draw out confirmation or denial from those with a good familiarity with titoki seedlings.
One of several similar seedlings emerging for the first time this year with reddish smooth stems and in some cases with a slight reddish tint to some parts of the leaves. This is the reddest one I have seen.
Titoki seedings have been occurring in this location for about 4 years. Adult titoki are present within 100m. Older T. succadeneum seedlings have been identified in the same area.
usual subspecies here is excelsum... they are very common, but occasionally I see one with this leaf shape and venation, which I can't describe but it's different...
About 40cm H. Among wild regen under old mapou, ti kouka and karamu on boundary with FTZLWR
Common in disturbed areas, especially along tracks and roads. @pjd1 is this the correct species?
On coastal granite.
I think I saw the same thing on coastal granite on the Chatham Islands https://inaturalist.nz/observations/67481197
Coastal rocks.
Looks similar to https://inaturalist.nz/observations/79907058
quite common in Hawkes Bay and seems to me to be different to the even more common P. luteoalbum
Growing in a dune slack in sand plain up the escarpment.
A particularly dark and glossy individual with a thicker cuticle then normal, as well as raised leaf veins

Foliicolous on a nikau palm seedling, trackside in native forest.
