    This was at the top of a cliff in the Gisborne region about 200m asl inland 20km with kowhai, and Phormium cookianum.
    Doesnt seem to match anything I can find..

    Hi Malcolm, looks like an unusually narrow-leaved form of Olearia furfuracea. If it flowers it would be worth collecting a specimen for a herbarium

    MIke is correct - that is Olearia furfuracea

    Thanks for the info. It is a bit of a walk to get to so I can't just pop back, but I can try to schedule my next visit (in 2 years) to coincide with flowering. I could only see one specimen, but can have a better look to see if it is a one off narrow leaved plant, or whether that is the norm in the area.

    Hi Malcolm, I noticed narrow-leaved plants of Olearia furfuracea in various parts of the East Coast (especially in a remnant near East Cape, as I recall). It'd be worth talking to Graeme about it when you see him. He'll be interested in keeping his eyes peeled for them.
