Mt Lyford Alpine Plants 2015
Mt Lyford is about 2 hours north of Christchurch on the inland road to Kaikoura. It is a small ski field with an associated Alpine Village where houses are steep pitched log cabin type construction. The houses are set on largish sections amidst mountain beech and associated trees.
This visit was on 1 January 2015.
Walk through grassland and up a track through beech forest and stream edge plants towards the scree areas.
Of interest here is Leptinella atrata subsp luteola (click to visit page) which may in fact be Leptinella dendyi.
