Margaret - Quick addition to my earlier message. A friend's just sent
me an e-mail list of additional even-greater-obscurities! - which
perhaps Moira or Tim can throw some light on. (The friend sent no
details, merely a list of names. Given his nature, I'm sure, if he'd
had details, he'd have sent'em - at length!)
The friend says that further species include (deep breath):
Aa. argyrocoma, banksii, degeneri, forbesii, graminea, hemichrysa,
linearis, menziesiana, pumila, psychrocharis (sic - but perhaps a
typo?), trinervia, veratroides and (wait for it: is he pulling my leg?
or is this a bit of genuine Maori?) waialealae!
Fancy a garden full of astelias? Well, astelias and hebes. Let's be
sensible, after all...
Best wishes -
Tim
