Myosotis Research Field Trip: 2011 - Kahurangi National Park

Topic

Overview

In January 2011, Curator Carlos Lehnebach explored the Mount Arthur and Cobb Reservoir area of Kahurangi National Park.

Seven native Myosotis species were located. A herbarium specimen and leaf samples for DNA research were collected for each species to help address key research questions as part of Te Papa's Myosotis Research program.

Some of the collection records and photos of plants we collected on this trip can be seen here (scroll down to "Related Objects" below).
