Te Papa’s Botany team recently ventured to a Wellington City Council Reserve called Hue tē Taka Peninsula/Moa Point located on the south coast of Miramar Peninsula.
Our aim is to compile a species list of the plant community, supported by vouchered specimens that will be stored in Te Papa’s herbarium (collection of dried plants). Most plant species including seaweeds, moss, liverworts, lichen, ferns and seed plants will be collected. Before collecting any plants, we obtained a permit from Wellington City Council.
