7. Many trees of Pittosporum eugenioides at Te Miro. 8. Lowland ferns at the 300ft level at Te Miro, as in Claudelands Bush, Hamilton. Examples are: Polystichum richardi, Ctenitis decomposita, Athyrium australe, Doodia media, Pellaea rotundifolia, Hypolepis rugosula, Hypolepis tenuifolia. 9. The resemblance to the other lowland bush of the Waikato Basin is heightened by the presence of Melicytus micranthus, of various small-leaved species of Coprosma, and of Paratrophis microphylla. 10. The planting of both native and exotic trees at the site of the old Sanatorium on Maungakawa 70 years ago. These include fine specimens of kauri (one about 70ft high), puriri, Pinus radiata, Cupressus macrocarpa, and oak (Quercus robur). It is interesting to note that some of the oaks carry as many as ten species of native ferns, orchids, and Astelia, and that trees of P. radiata carry Griselinia lucida. The collections of grasses, sedges and rushes are incomplete. Later investigations therefore should add considerably to the present lists of these plants.
