Olearia solandri is naturally restricted to the North Island and the north of the South Island. (You can check the distribution by searching for Olearia solandri here: NZPCN:http://www.nzpcn.org.nz/plant_distribution_results.aspx) It has recently shown up - apparently wild - in the Port Hills above Christchurch. This project is meant to track it's distribution in Canterbury. less ↑
