Fig. 55. — Silver tussock was the dominant tussock on much of the higher rainfall parts of the tussock country of the South Island. At the present time much of the former silver tussock country is in good pasture. The remaining silver tussock country is, on the whole, not easily ploughed, where, however, it is being replaced to a large extent by plants such as browntop, Yorkshire fog, sweet vernal and clover. The illustration shows these two phases of the silver tussock country. [S. H. Saxby, photo.
