While New Zealand has only a limited range of floral gems, those which it possesses rank high in all-round merit. The illustration shows one of these—a plant admired and envied by all mountaineers or visitors to our alpine regions. It is prolific all over the Southern Alps and can be grown on the flat also. The flowers are white with grewish stalks and foliage, and it is a real gem in its native habitat as shown in the photograph, surrounded with ferny foliage and associated plans. This picture was taken in the Routeburn valley just off the road from the Milford track.
