Female plant with many discarded seeds of varying age under fringes. Also present, two discarded flower spikes (yellow objects to the right of old seed).

Note: Site is on moderately sloping fine gravel with an accumulation of small rocks ca 2m down-slope. Note the number of juvenile plants among the rocks, most likely the progeny of large female up-slope.

Description

Off track at exposed part of Windy Point, Wooded Peak ultramafic, Nelson

This part of Windy Point, as its name suggests, is very exposed to strong winds and has been highly modified by mining activities in the 1890's. Vegetation is exposed, sparse and stunted, in contrast to the taller, diverse and densely covered plant-life on the benign north-west facing slope leading up to Windy Point.

Casual observations early this year indicate a higher level of fruit production in the modified site than in the lush site. In the absence of evidence for invertebrate pollination and persistent cold, strong winds during the peak pollination period (September) it's tempting to suspect that wind is the primary pollination agent.
