Which Hooker?

[edit]

Which Hooker is the scientific name derived? Joseph Dalton Hooker seems a likely candidate, since he was on James Clark Ross' Antarctic expedition, but as the expedition's botanist, so I'm not sure. Carolina wren (talk) 06:17, 24 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

According to the NZ Department of Conservation's Threatened Species Recovery Plan Series No.17 it was him. Hase (talk) 00:24, 12 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Addition of separate section on species distribution

[edit]

I have moved some text relating specifically to species distribution in to a dedicated section, including the results of an analysis of ancient DNA (historical distribution). Treburrick (talk)

Edits to the Status section

[edit]

This was tidied up, without deleting any existing text. Some text has been moved to other sections. Updated with the new IUCN classification.

12,000

[edit]

It's the number given by NZGovernment today (2018). Good news if so, there must have been a 20% increase over past years. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.11.0.22 (talk) 00:55, 31 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
