Field Trip: Plants of the Auckland Zoo. 20/08/05

Bot. Soc. held a trip to the Zoo on 20 August 2005 to look at the plants there. Those attending were: Enid Asquith, Shirley Bollard, Jan Butcher, Michelle Butcher, Pam Carmont, Steve Cook, Brian Cumber, Frances Duff, Colleen Foster, Gladys Goulstone, Fran Hintz,

y Lux, Elaine Marshall, Alistaironald, Garry McSweeney,

Marjorie Newhook, Helen Preston-Jones, Juliet iddick, Peter Riddick, Josh Salter,

Nancy Smith, Val Smith (Wellington Bot Soc), Pat Seyb, Alison Wesley, Jacqui Walters (visitor), Mike Wilcox, Maureen Young. Hugo Baynes (Senior Team Leader- Horticulture, Auckland Zoo) was the principal guide for our walkabout. The purpose of the visit was to get acquainted with the various theme plantings such as Northern New Zealand coast at the Sealionshores exhibit, African savanna at the Pridelands and Hippo river enclosures, the rainforest areas and also to record the native species and varied exotic plants throughout the Zoo. We found the plants at the Zoo to be a great feature in their own right, and much more significant than just a backdrop or habitat for the animals. There are old

to the Zoos’ beginnings in the 1920’svariety of subsequent plantings including

those associated with relatively recent modifications to rs and the new education

ntre. We highlight here just a few of the plants we saw, followed by more or less complete lists of New Zealand native plants and of exotic woody plants and the larger monocots. New Zealand native plants The list of species is impressive, covering ferns, monocots, herbs, and woody plants. There is an especially interesting area in Sealionshores around the penguin aviary and Sealion underwater viewing area. Here we saw in flower Cook Strait kowhai (Sophora molloyi) – a short squat species, kaka beak (Clianthus puniceus), yellow native broom (Carmichaelia williamsii), and also Myrsine aquilonia (from the Poor Knights Is) which lacks the divaricating habit of M. divaricata. Also coastal ribbonwood (Plagianthus

Exotic plants: trees and shrubs Auckland Zoo has an outstanding collection of African plants, having successfully established southern and east African trees and shrubs bordering the enclosures for giraffe, rhinoceros and lion and other African mammals. Many of these interesting introductions, rarely seen in New Zealand, were sourced from Geoff Etherington, Nelson. Among the prized specimens thAlberta magna, Allophylus abyssinica, Croton megalocarpus, Cunonia capensis, Cussonia paniculata, C. spicata, Dombeya burgessiae, Dombeya cacuminum (from Madagascar), D. torrida, Dovyalis caffra, Euphorbia ingens, Filicium decipiens, Grewia occidentalis, Greyia radlkoferi, Greyia sutherlandii, Hagenia abyssinica, HarpephHeteromorpha trifoliata, Khaya nyasica, Loxostylis alata, Nuxia floribunda, Podocarpus henkelii, Premna maxima, Schotia brachypetala, and Vitex keniensis. A magnificent flowering specimen of Dombeya cacuminum - surely one of Auckland’s best flowering trees - attracted much admiration with its large red, hanging blossoms with curious patches of yellow on the petals (actually patches of pollen), sphippo pond), Podocarpus henkelii (overhanging Motions Creek near the western overbridge), and Nuxia floribunda (with spectacular sprays of small white fragrant blossoms) were particularly impressive. Australian trees are also prominent. Eucalyptus grandis, E. saligna, E. pilularis and E. botryoides are the Zoo’s main large eucalypts. The Proteaceae family is represented by Banksia integrifolia, Macadamia tetraphylla, and the beautiful, red-flowered Stenocarpus sinuatus.

Field Trip:

Eleven of us from Auckland Bot Soc had an enjoyable stay at Eastwoodhill Arboretum from 26 to 30 September 2005. Our group was Chris Boucher, Colleen Crampton, Elizabeth Bowie, Helen Cogle, Jan Butcher, Joan Kember, Kay Haslett, Maureen Young, Mike Rowledge, Mike Wilcox and Pam Carmont.
