New Zealand’s alpine regions are home to a fascinating array of native plants. From the Mount Cook buttercup (Ranunculus lyallii) and the distinctive Spaniards (Aciphylla species) through to the less-conspicuous mat plants and grasses, the alpine flora of the country demonstrates the remarkable ability of plants to adapt to and thrive in a range of harsh environments. This book covers most of the 600 or so vascular plants found above the treeline. The plants are arranged systematically, with information on distribution and habitat accompanying each description. Botanically accurate illustrations, all from fresh plants, allow easy identification of species.
