Description

Female on eggs. Unfortunately her the nest was in an area used by a group of 4wd people and may have been destroyed by them driving around the lake.
It appears to be a lone female as there was no sign of a male doing any distraction behaviour.

The eggs were photographed with a zoom lens

Description

Several small patches of this entity growing under the scrub in the new section of the Kaitorete Scenic Reserve. Unfortunately no fertile material so the id is based on David LLoyds paper on Cotula/Leptinella.
The branches appear to be singular on the rhizome and the pinnae are toothed top to bottom on the leaves. The NZPCN does not specify the latter fact on the website as quoted here from the paper “In the vegetative state, C. minor has often been identified as the more common species C. squalida, because of the numerous teeth on the pinnae of larger leaves. But C. minor is easily distinguished by the restriction of teeth to the lower pinnae, which is unique in section Leptinella."
