Brief description

Rare small grey-green shrub inhabiting rocky sites of the southern North Island. Leaves few, 4-8cm long, oblong, with a blunt base joined to the leaf stalk, grey-green, white woolly underneath. Flowers with radiating yellow petals, in loose clusters.

Distribution

Endemic. Confined to the southern North Island from near Flat Point south to the mouth of the Orongorongo River.

Habitat

Primarily a coastal species of rock outcrops and bluffs but may extend inland up river gorges and in suitably exposed bluff habitats

Flower colours

Yellow

Life cycle

Pappate achenes are dispersed by wind (Thorsen et al., 2009).

Propagation technique

Very easy from fresh seed or semi-hardwood cuttings. Layers readily as well. Will hybridise with most other Brachyglottis, so if pure seed is wanted plant specimens well away from other species in this genus

Etymology

brachyglottis: Name comes from the Greek words brachus meaning “short” and glottis meaning “the vocal apparatus of the larynx”

Where To Buy

Occasionally offered by specialist native plant nurseries. Most plants sold under this name are hybrids with either B. compacta or B. repanda.
