Hinau, eloeocarpus dentatus, Rauhuia, linum monogynum - high resolution image from old book.

Baring Head In Winter 23 . 6 . 18 I went to Baring Heads with my 3 year old son Morris. 01 This is the only Linum monogynum we saw but was rather conspicuous with its amazing colour, im always happy to see Rauhuia in the wild, its growthform seems alot more sparse than in cultivation. 02 This Coprosma repens or Taupata shaped by the elements is obvoiusly tough, surrounded by sand and the introduced Marram grass. 03 I think this is a divaricating Coprosma, shaped by the southerly wind and the lichenized greywacke that protects it. Why ain't hairdressers going around doing topairy? 04 Coastal pond. Im sure there is a particular word for this type of body of water but i havnt found it yet. This made me think of Thoreau's bottomless pond. 05 Rugged outcrop of Greywacke. 06 The Raoulia hookeri growing in one small location about 100m up from the shore, showed two slight colour forms, grey and green, this is the grey. Be great to see this in flower and what insects or potentialy lizards are doing the polinating. 07 Morris tripping
