Mrs Margaret Austin (member of Parliament for Yaldhurst), left, Mrs Whetu Tirikatene-Sullivan (member of Parliament for Southern Maori), and Miss Ruth Richardson (member of Parliament for Selwyn), plant a totara to mark the opening of the D S.I.R. Botany Division’s new herbarium at the Canterbury Agriculture and Science Centre, Lincoln, yesterday. The totara, representing durability and strength, is the Botany Division’s symbol. The new herbarium, which is larger than the existing herbarium, can house more than a million specimens. Local Maori elders (kaumatua) attended the opening and blessed the building and its grounds, to show their identity with the land and the Botany Division.
