Other suggestions on what this is are more than welcome. It's not behaving as I know it.

Growing in silver beech forest at around 700m elevation in the Tararuas, very common. Sorry the photos aren't great. I don't know my Carexs very well in this part of the country- is the long bract at the base of the seed head here distinctive to a species?

A new southern limit and a second mainland population of the creeping 'race' of this species! Seen with Carex lessionana, Deperia petersenii subsp. congrua and Oplismenus hirtellus subsp. imbecillis in glade of alluvial forest - currently grazed by cattle.

A beautiful hebe known as Hebe aff. bishopiana 'Hikurangi'. Around 30 plants seen in swamp remnant flowers finished. Similar to Hebe stricta 'tetraploid green' but differs by colour and glabrous leaf buds.
Hebe stricta 'tetraploid green':

Also similar to the Trounson green race which is similar (lacking hairs that same as H. aff. bishopiana) except for the colour.

On wet shady rocks at 1900m on Mt Scott, APNP. Apparently this is a low alpine spp up to 1000m? I thought it also resembled M suavis but that only occurs south of Mt Cook.

Plants growing outside DOC’s fenced off area to protect from pigs. Many plants observed in our NELSON Forests area close to fence where we are playing an active role to eradicate gorse, broom, blackberry and Spanish heath to allow the regenerating natives to flourish. Picture is of an Olearia polita ( small leaved tree daisy) to left with a small leaved coprosma to right. Site is Blair Athol gully. Present were 2 DOC staff and 3 from NFL

Undescribed species allied to G. concinna but differing genetically, as well as morphologically (larger plant, different leaf shape, degree of investiture, flower size, shapeand colour). This race is endemic to the western South Island.
This plant was found growing on the river flood plain in partial shade, amongst Agrosits stolonifera, Isolepis inundatus and Hydrocotyle heteromeria. A few other specimens were noted in nearby beech forest (Fuscospora sp.) growing on the forest floor with Hydrocotyle dissecta, Oxalis magellanica and Cardamine spp.

This is Fimbristylis velata R.Br. which is not on Nature Watch NZ and is missing from the 'external providers'
It is the name we are using in New Zealand for the species that had been called here F. squarrosa Vahl
(see http://nzflora.landcareresearch.co.nz/default.aspx?selected=NameDetails&TabNum=0&NameId=32D1F496-8F28-4DC7-BDB8-33C0BDB6D0F6 and http://www.nzpcn.org.nz/flora_details.aspx?ID=257).
The images are pretty poor but they fill a gap and I have none better. The two shockers are mine and the goodish one is by the late Sir John Smith-Dodsworth (taken from the same site on the same day) who allowed me to use his images.
Fimbristylis was once regarded as seriously threatened in New Zealand till a chance discovery (kid you not) by my feelow Earth Science student colleagues and I in the former Garden Bar of the Hillcrest Tavern, Hamilton lead me to realise it was a locally common, 'weedy' species of the Waikato River Banks, associated non-peat lakes and also parts of Northland. A strict annual it appears about mid December and reaches its peak in February before drying off by late March. Its preferred habitat is muddy bare ground left by receding water levels, though around Taupo and Rotorua it grows in muddy ground within geothermal areas - and probably also in other Garden Bars in pubs.

Cant figure out which one. Doesnt quite look like the ones in the area, unless they're quite variable? Epiphytic on Dicksonia squarrosa, prolific on this one trunk

Very small population found even though an extensive search was carried out. Very rare. Not the best photos,as it was raining and blowing 30 knots at the time!

Young spikelets. A nice find of a grass that is rapidly becoming rather uncommon in Auckland (let alone throughout the country). Growing in gumland scrub with Rytidosperma unarede, R. biannularis and Morelotia affinis.

Reasonably common but only obvious when in flower as it scrambles up through the coastal scrub. Here it is with Muehlenbeckia complexa, Olearia solandri and Rubus squarrosus
