Steep, rocky ridge: This community was found along the summit ridge at c. 880m (GR NZMS 260 F43 

782 026). The cover is dominated by rockand bare ground (25%), with muchRacomitrum 

languinosum (12%), Gaultheria crassa (10%), fescue tussock (8%), narrow-leaved snow tussock (5%),

Oreomyrrhis ramosa (2%), Bulbinella angustifolia, Dolychoglottis !yallii, Schoenus paucij/orus, Carex 

gaudichaudiana, bryophytes and a range ofherb species. This community has open, turfy areas within 

it that are dominated by a rich diversity ofherbaceous species with only 10% red tussock cover. These 

include Celmisia sp. "gracilenta rhizomatous", Craspedia sp., Plantago unij/ora, Viola cunninghamii, 

Hydrocotyle novae-zelandiae var. montana and Pratia angulata, along with Carpha alpina, Schoenus

umbel/ata). 

Regenerating forest: In places there is a regenerating forest emerging through either manuka or 

coprosma dominated shrubland. There more advanced regenerating forest contains much black mapou, 

marble1eafandbroadleafwith occasional silver beech, Haals totara, three fmger (Pseudopanax 

colensoi var. ternatus), kowhai, lancewood and Raukawa simplex.
