My new favourite from #NationalForestryHerbarium. Echium plantagineum, commonly known as Paterson's curse, indigenous to Eurasia and northern Africa. Earliest collection in NZ from 1893. Farmers hate them, bee keepers love them. #BioCollections

From #NationalForestryHerbarium @ScionResearch. 55% of specimens now imaged. Here's a sample. Melianthus major, an evergreen suckering shrub, endemic to South Africa and naturalised in New Zealand where it's on the Weedbuster list.
