GRASSLANDS RESEARCH
Work On N.Z. Tussocks
Dr. D. G. Lloyd, who graduated from the University of Canterbury with first-class honours in botany in 1959. has returned from America as a lecturer in botany, but he will have leave from academic duties for three years to take up a Hellaby research fellowship, still at the University of Canterbury. For the last five years Dr. Lloyd has been at Harvard University where he won a doctorate in philosophy in the department of biology. The Hellaby fellowship will release Dr. Lloyd from teaching and administrative duties so that he can devote all his time to his chosen research project. This will be an investigation of the reproductive processes of plants in the tussock grasslands of the New Zealand high country, including both grasses and other plants. He said it was fundamental research without a specific practical end in view. Dr. Lloyd attended the International Botanical Congress in Edinburgh and toured Europe for two months this year.
