Pachystegia rufa and allied rock daisies : rarity and threats

Eagle's trees and shrubs of New Zealand.
The paintings are certainly beautiful and accurate depictions of the species. In only a few cases e.g., karaka, Coprosmn lucLda, hard beech, and Pseudowintera axillavis are the leaves not good likenesses of typical specimens. Flowers and fruits, as well as leaves, are shown, and the use of enlarged paintings to show details of floral structure, placentation and fruits will be helpful in identifications. Importantly, a uniform style and tone has been maintained throughout. In comparison with Mark and Adams' N e w Zealand Alpine Plants, the paintings by Audrey Eagle are if anything clearer and include more close-ups of flowers and fruits.
