Identificaciones de strewick

This population was established on about two plants (a southern rata, and a rock rose) from one individuasl brought back from Wellington in the early 1990s. Surrounded by pasture, dispersal seems unlikely. The recent detection of the species further along Milton St raises the possibility they have dispersed, although inermis are spreading through other Southland townships too so may also be an independent incursion.
