| 848749 | 2010-01-14 06:15:00 | I am wondering if anyone can help me with this? I was recently up to the Homer Tunnel/Gertrude Saddle area taking photos of the Mt Cook lily (it isn't!), also known as Giant Mountain Buttercup (and it's not that either!). The Latin name is: Ranunculus lyallii. But what is it's Maori name???? Can anyone help with this? TIA :) |

| 848751 | 2010-01-14 06:22:00 | Searching Google suggests it doesn't have a maori name, www.rnzih.org.nz www.nzetc.org |

| 848753 | 2010-01-14 06:38:00 | Searching Google suggests it doesn't have a maori name, www.rnzih.org.nz www.nzetc.org I strongly suspected that. Those look quite definitive - thanks for that.:) My more knowledgible botanical and horticultural friends couldn't seem to come up with anything that could be confirmed. |

| 848755 | 2010-01-16 07:38:00 | Newsflash! Update! The Reed Field Guide to New Zealand Fauna & Flora by Brian Parkinson (2001) says it is: Kopukapuka. Which does seem a little odd, as I can't cross reference it on the Net. :( |

| 848757 | 2010-01-16 08:02:00 | Seems to be a conflict, it says that is the Chatham Island Forget-me-not, as do other sources. So the Reed Field Guide seems to be in error. | Terry Porritt (14) | ||
| 848758 | 2010-01-16 18:55:00 | Terry - I agree . So - we'll miss the Maori name for the moment . There will be others at the meeting that are more knowledgable than me . Watch this spot . . . |
