Bibliography of plant checklists for areas in Whanganui Conservancy

Published:  

2010
This bibliography documents approximately 600 plant checklists of natural areas within Whanganui Conservancy.

Summary

This bibliography documents approximately 600 plant checklists for areas within the Department of Conservation’s Whanganui Conservancy. They provide valuable information, both past and present, on the vegetation of the area.

This publication supersedes the first bibliography (Plant Checklist - A bibliography of plant checklists in Wanganui Conservancy, Nicholls 1999) that contained 375 lists. Also included separately in this publication is the list of Whanganui Conservancy Plant Lists. These lists are maintained and updated by a local botanist for the Conservancy, to reflect new discoveries and changes in nomenclature, unlike the other lists that are a snapshot in time. This list is sorted by list number as well as alphabetically, and individual lists are available electronically.

The main sources of information for this collection have been the Druce List collection, the Wanganui Plant List collection and the Biological Survey of Reserves Series. While the Protected Natural Area Programme datasheet information has not been included, it has been noted as a resource in the appropriate Ecological Districts.

The lists are held at the Department of Conservation in Whanganui and are available on request. The Department is interested in obtaining copies of other plant checklists to make the collection a more comprehensive one.

Please contact the Department of Conservation for copies of the lists or more information, or if you know of lists not included in the bibliography.
