Celmisia durietzii, commonly known as Durietz’s mountain daisy,[2] is a species of flowering plant endemic to New Zealand. It is not threatened.[1] It is named in honour of the Swedish botanist and lichenologist Gustaf Einar Du Rietz, who, along with his wife Greta, researched New Zealand lichen species.[3]
Description
[edit]Celmisia durietzii is a low plant that grows a perennial[4] stalked yellow flower with white petals.
To distinguish this Celmisia from others, consider: the sheath, which should translucent and hairless; evenly-haired achenes; and short, somewhat narrow leaves. The habitat is also important; it is neither coastal like Celmisia lindsayi, nor in wet habitats like Celmisia bonplandii.[2]
Distribution and habitat
[edit]Celmisia durietzii is known from the South Island, from Marlborough south to Fiordland. It may extend into Fiordland and Stewart Island, but those populations may also be an undescribed species.[2]
